The Monetary Systems of the Greeks and Romans

edited by W.V. Harris

The ancient economy is always a subject which provokes intense debate, and these essays on ancient monetary systems are no exception. Topics include: origins of coinage and the reasons for its adoption; the use of bullion as money; the availability and use of credit in the ancient world; the extent of monetization; whether economic growth was possible in the ancient world; and whether the Roman Empire could be considered a singel integrated economy. 330p (Oxford UP 2008, Pb 2010)
