Passenger fares seem to us to have been very low. Passengers
however appear to have been responsible for their own sustenance,
the quarters were probably far from luxurious and of course loss of
life by shipwreck unlike loss of freight entailed no financial loss
to the carrier. -from "Chapter XVI: Commerce" In this classic
work-an expansion of an earlier 1920 edition-a respected classical
scholar sketches the economic life of the Roman culture through the
republican period and into the fourth century of the empire. Though
later books unfairly supplanted it, this volume remains an
excellent introduction to the capital, commerce, labor, and
industry of the immediate forerunner of modern civilization. In
clear, readable language, Frank explores: .agriculture in early
Latium .the rise of the peasantry .Roman coinage .finance and
politics .the "plebs urbana" .the beginnings of serfdom .and much
more. American historian TENNEY FRANK (1876-1939) was professor of
Latin at Bryn Mawr College and Johns Hopkins University, and also
wrote Roman Imperialism (1914) and A History of Rome (1923).
