Brill to Publish Kassandra Miller’s Down to the Hour: Short Time in the Ancient Mediterranean and Near East
Professor Miller’s edited volume brings together for the first time perspectives on the interplay between short-term timekeeping technologies and their social contexts in ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece, and Rome. Its contributions denaturalize modern-day concepts of clocks, hours, and temporal frameworks; describe some of the timekeeping solutions used in antiquity; and illuminate the diverse factors that affected how individuals and communities structured their time. Publication date: December 24.
