- Takes a new approach to quantifying economic performance in antiquity
- Will stimulate debate on how to research and study ancient economic history
- Integrates the evidence of ancient documents with that of archaeological remains
This collection of essays is the first volume in a new series, Oxford Studies on the Roman Economy. Edited by the series editors, it focuses on the economic performance of the Roman empire, analysing the extent to which Roman political domination of the Mediterranean and north-west Europe created the conditions for the integration of agriculture, production, trade, and commerce across the regions of the empire. Using the evidence of both documents and archaeology, the contributors suggest how we can derive a quantified account of economic growth and contraction in the period of the empire's greatest extent and
prosperity.Readership: Scholars and students of classics, Roman history, economic history, archaeology.
