商品簡介
Mitchell (Hellenistic culture, U. of Exeter, UK) and Katsari (ancient history, U. of Leicester) present 13 papers exploring the economic history of Asia Minor during the Roman Empire. The papers--gathering their data from literary texts, inscriptions, coinage, and archaeology--discuss agriculture, trade and commodity exchange, urban economics, the monetary economy, and population movements and their impact on local economies. Particular topics include patterns of olive cultivation, the origin and development of market buildings, central power intervention and the economy of the Roman provinces, the monetization of Roman Asia Minor in the third century AD, and the influence of church councils on the economies of the cities.
