This volume is a collection of studies which presents new analyses
of the nature and scale of Roman agriculture in the Mediterranean
world from c. 100 BC to AD 350. It provides a clear understanding
of the fundamental features of Roman agricultural production
through studying the documentary and archaeological evidence for
the modes of land exploitation and the organisation, development
of, and investment in this sector of the Roman economy. Moving
substantially beyond the simple assumption that agriculture was the
dominant sector of the ancient economy, the volume explores what
was special and distinctive about it, especially with a view of its
development and integration during a period of expansion and
prosperity across the empire. The papers exemplify a range of
possible approaches to studying and, within limits, quantifying
aspects of Roman agricultural production, marshalling a large
quantity of evidence, chiefly archaeological and papyrological, to
address important questions of the organisation and performance of
this sector in the Roman world.
