This book details the activities of a broad array of police officers in Ptolemaic Egypt (323-30 BC). The Ptolemaic police investigated crimes; held trials; and arrested, questioned and sometimes even imprisoned wrongdoers. Such an autonomous police organization is unparalleled in the evidence from the rest of the Greco-Roman world.
