* Dr. Uri Yiftach-Firanko studies Greek and Roman
law and the social and economic history of the Hellenistic and the Roman
world. In particular, Yiftach-Firanko studies diachronic and regional
diversities in the structure of documentary papyri—a valuable and
largely underused means of studying the evolution of Greek law in the
Hellenistic and Roman periods. He edits papyri of legal and
administrative contents, and is involved in the organization different
Israeli and international projects and seminars relating to his fields of
interest. He is also one of the creators of the Israeli Forum for the
Research in Legal History of the Ancient and Pre-Industrial World and
organizer of Events and Activities of the Forum.
