In this volume, Philip Kay examines economic change in Rome and
Italy between the Second Punic War and the middle of the first
century BC. He argues that increased inflows of bullion, in
particular silver, combined with an expansion of the availability
of credit to produce significant growth in monetary liquidity.
This, in turn, stimulated market developments, such as investment
farming, trade, construction, and manufacturing, and radically
changed the composition and scale of the Roman economy. Using a
wide range of evidence and scholarly investigation, Kay
demonstrates how Rome, in the second and first centuries BC, became
a coherent economic entity experiencing real per capita economic
growth. Without an understanding of this economic revolution, the
contemporaneous political and cultural changes in Roman society
cannot be fully comprehended or explained.
