Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article presents a new attempt to estimate the size of the army and the population of Boiotia in the Hellenistic period. The calculation is based on an important type of epigraphic evidence in the region: conscription lists from the various cities of the Boiotian Confederacy, following a method initiated by Beloch. Confidence intervals are provided to estimate the age class of 20 in each city as well as whole districts where reliable data are available, and the population model is subsequently drawn from the work of contemporary statisticians. We reach a military potential of 11,000–14,500 men aged 20–49. This equates to a citizen population (including women and children) of 59,000–78,000 and to a total population of 75,000–115,000.

希腊化波约亚的征兵名单、军事力量和人口统计
摘要:本文对希腊化时期的波奥提亚军队规模和人口规模进行了新的估算。该计算基于该地区一种重要的铭文证据:来自博奥瓦联盟各城市的征兵名单,采用了Beloch提出的方法。在每个城市以及有可靠数据的整个地区,提供了估计20岁年龄组的置信区间,随后从当代统计学家的工作中得出人口模型。我们有11000 - 14500名20-49岁的潜在军人。这相当于公民人口(包括妇女和儿童)为59 000 - 78 000,总人口为75 000 - 115 000。
