Focusing on the Anthropocene debate, this book explores environmental interrelations and ecological sensitivity in the Graeco-Roman world. It examines ancient concepts of environmental depletion, species loss, and biodiversity through historical sources and evidence, analyzing the political and socioeconomic contexts. The research highlights how ancient societies exhibited sustainable behaviors and practical uses of biodiversity, while noting their lack of a cohesive ecological culture compared to modern environmentalism. The author, a historian, aims to reveal ancient responses to environmental challenges.
