This book by the author of The Economy of the Roman Empire:
Quantitative Studies considers important interlocking themes. Did
the Roman Empire have a single 'national' economy, or was its
economy localised and fragmented? Can coin and pottery survivals
demonstrate the importance of long-distance trade? How fast did
essential news travel by sea, and what does that imply about
Mediterranean sailing-patterns? Further subjects considered include
taxation, commodity-prices, demography, and army pay and manpower.
The book is very wide-ranging in its geographical coverage and in
the evidence that it explores. By analysing specific features of
the economy the contrasting discussions examine important questions
about its character and limitations, and about how surviving
evidence should be interpreted. The book throws new and significant
light on the economic life of Europe and the Mediterranean in
antiquity, and will be valuable to ancient historians and students
of European economic history.
