It has long been held by historians that trade and markets in the
Roman Empire resembled those found later in early modern Europe.
Using the concept of the bazaar, however, Peter Bang argues that
the development spawned by Roman hegemony proves clear similarities
with large, pre-colonial or tributary empires such as the Ottoman,
the Mughal in India, and the Ming/Ch'ing in China. By comparing
Roman market formation particularly with conditions in the Mughal
Empire, Bang changes our comparative horizons and situates the
ongoing debate over the Roman economy firmly within wider
discussions about world history and the 'great divergence' between
east and west. The broad scope of this 2008 book takes in a wide
range of topics, from communal networks and family connections to
imperial cultures of consumption, and will therefore be of great
interest to scholars and students of ancient history and
pre-industrial economics.
