Kimberley Czajkowski is a Lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Edinburgh. She was previously a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Cluster of Excellence 'Religion and Politics', Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, and completed her doctorate at the University of Oxford. Her research interests pertain principally to law in the Roman Near East, with more general interests lying in the fields of Roman legal history, the history of the Jewish people under the Roman Empire, and in processes of 'Romanization'.
All in all, this is a stimulating book that takes great advantage of the rare opportunity to shed light on provincial legal culture outside of Egypt that these archives provide. It will be required reading for those interested in legal culture and legal change in the Roman provinces. * Tristan Taylor, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
