Bringing together specialists in ancient history, archaeology and
Roman law, this book provides new perspectives on long-distance
trade in the Roman world. Recent archaeological work has shown that
maritime trade across the Mediterranean intensified greatly at the
same time as the Roman state was extending its power overseas. This
book explores aspects of this development and its relationship with
changes in the legal and institutional apparatus that supported
maritime commerce. It analyses the socio-legal framework within
which maritime trade was conducted, and in doing so presents a new
understanding of the role played by legal and social institutions
in the economy of the Roman world.Chapters cover: Roman maritime
trade, the influence of commercial considerations on navigational
decision making, Roman legal responses to the threat of piracy, the
conduct of Roman maritime trade from a socio-legal perspective, the
role of written documentation in the transport process, maritime
finance and the insights provided by the juristic interpretation of
contracts of carriage-by-sea into aspects of Roman private law.
