New Series from Acumen Publishing! The Senses in Antiquity Like us, ancient Greeks and Romans came to know and understand their world through their senses. And yet it has long been recognized that the world the ancients perceived, and the senses through which they channeled this information, could operate rather differently from the patterns and processes of perception in the modern world. This series explores the relationship between perception, knowledge, and understanding in the literature, philosophy, history, language, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome.
