Harvesting the Sea provides the first systematic treatment of the
exploitation of various marine resources, such as large-scale
fishing, fish salting, salt and purple-dye production, and oyster
and fish-farming, in the Roman world and its role within the
ancient economy. Bringing together literary, epigraphic, and legal
sources, with a wealth of archaeological data collected in recent
years, Marzano shows that these marine resources were an important
feature of the Roman economy and, in scope and market-oriented
production, paralleled phenomena taking place in the Roman
agricultural economy on land. The book also examines the importance
of technological innovations, the organization of labour, and the
use of the existing legal framework in defence of economic
interests against competitors for the same natural resource.
