This book explores the economic, social and political forces that
shaped the grain market in the Roman Empire. Examining studies on
food supply and the grain market in pre-industrial Europe, it
addresses questions of productivity, division of labour, market
relations and market integration. The social and political aspects
of the Roman grain market are also considered. Dr Erdkamp
illustrates how entitlement to food in Roman society was dependent
on relations with the emperor, his representatives and the
landowning aristocracy, and local rulers controlling the towns and
hinterlands. He assesses the response of the Roman authorities to
weaknesses in the grain market and looks at the implications of the
failure of local harvests. By examining the subject from a
contemporary perspective, this book will appeal not only to
historians of ancient economies, but to all concerned with the
economy of grain markets, a subject which still resonates today.
