The 17th Symposion of the International Society for Greek and Hellenistic Legal History took place at the Styrian Seggau Castle in Austria. 18 papers were presented, and respondents opened the discussion about nearly all of them. The overall 32 contributions are collected in this volume: archaic Cretan law, law of classical Athens, epigraphic evidence from other poleis of Hellenistic and Roman times, and legal papyri; parallels to cuneiform legal documents. The Symposion supports the cooperation of legal historians with those studying all aspects of Classical Antiquity allowing the participants a free choice of topics from their current areas of research.
