520 8  How did ancient scientific and knowledge-ordering writers 
       make their work authoritative? This book answers that 
       question for a wide range of ancient disciplines, from 
       mathematics, medicine, architecture and agriculture, 
       through to law, historiography and philosophy - focusing 
       mainly, but not exclusively, on the literature of the 
       Roman Empire. It draws attention to habits that these 
       different fields had in common, while also showing how 
       individual texts and authors manipulated standard 
       techniques of self-authorisation in distinctive ways. It 
       stresses the importance of competitive and assertive 
       styles of self-presentation, and also examines some of the
       pressures that pulled in the opposite direction by looking
       at authors who chose to acknowledge the limitations of 
       their own knowledge or resisted close identification with 
       narrow versions of expert identity. A final chapter by Sir
       Geoffrey Lloyd offers a comparative account of scientific 
       authority and expertise in ancient Chinese, Indian and 
       Mesopotamian culture.
