Thanks Polybius. You really know this period!

Brian Caven, "The Punic Wars" - I'll see if I can find it used.

I don't know I agree with the majority of libertarians on land ownership or the Georgist libertarians who mark off land as a separate form of property, forever removed from private ownership.

Give me a recommendation for the Greek landowner situation, if you have one.

I don't have any particular text I can recommend to you dealing exclusively with the landowner situation in ancient Greece.

However, for an excellent, one stop shopping text on all things Classical, I highly recommend The Oxford Classical Dictionary that is actually a 1200 page, small font, one volume Classical encyclopedia rather than a dictionary.

It's entry on agriculture stated that although some large slave estates were established in pre-Alexandrian Greece, " Small estates remained neverthelessthe rule in the Greek motherland and were common also in the Greek colonies in Sicily and the Balck Sea coast."

For any used book about any subject, try out the Adnced Book Exchange web page. It is a web page that gets used book dealers and buyers together. Just type in the title, author, list by cheapest price, hard back or paperback, etc. and you can find almost any used book you are looking for.

A quick search showed a copy for $10.
