This book focuses on those features of the Roman economy that are
less traceable in text and archaeology, and as a consequence remain
largely underexplored in contemporary scholarship. By
reincorporating, for the first time, these long-obscured practices
in mainstream scholarly discourses, this book offers a more
complete and balanced view of an economic system that for too long
has mostly been studied through its macro-economic and large-scale
- and thus archaeologically and textually omnipresent - aspects.
The topic is approached in five thematic sections, covering unusual
actors and perspectives, unusual places of production, exigent
landscapes of exploitation, less-visible products and artefacts,
and divergent views on emblematic economic spheres. To this
purpose, the book brings together a select group of leading
scholars and promising early career researchers in archaeology and
ancient economic history, well positioned to steer this
ill-developed but fundamental field of the Roman economy in
promising new directions.
