Explanation of the success and failure of the Roman economy is one
of the most important problems in economic history. As an economic
system capable of sustaining high production and consumption
levels, it was unparalleled until the early modern period. This
volume focuses on how the institutional structure of the Roman
Empire affected economic performance both positively and
negatively. An international range of contributors offers a variety
of approaches that together enhance our understanding of how
different ownership rights and various modes of organization and
exploitation facilitated or prevented the use of land and natural
resources in the production process. Relying on a large array of
resources - literary, legal, epigraphic, papyrological, numismatic,
and archaeological - chapters address key questions regarding the
foundations of the Roman Empire's economic system. Questions of
growth, concentration and legal status of property (private,
public, or imperial), the role of the state, content and
limitations of rights of ownership, water rights and management,
exploitation of indigenous populations, and many more receive new
and original analyses that make this book a significant step
forward to understanding what made the economic achievements of the
Roman empire possible.
