Across six chapters, it examines the forms of violence-physical aggression (bia), verbal abuse (loidoria), and hubris (hybris), which combines both of the former with emotional and shaming effects. The book explores triggers such as familial disputes, inheritance conflicts, drunkenness, and theft and analyses the relationships between perpetrators and victims, including family, neighbours, officials, and strangers. Spatial contexts are linked to architectural features of the house, while temporal patterns reveal peaks in evening and nighttime incidents. The study also considers the weapons and tools used in domestic assaults, offering insights into methods and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Youssri Ezzat Hussein Abdelwahed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1407363964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781407363967\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Archaeological Reports (Oxford) Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.59d","brand":"Youssri Ezzat Hussein Abdelwahed","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997874041087,"sku":"9781407363967","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/household-violence-in-greco-roman-egypt-youssri-ezzat-hussein-abdelwahed-9781407363967","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
