Understanding the intersection of Rapid climate change and subsistence Practices
Intensified exploitation of animal products in the Mediterranean Copper Age
In this paper, dietary patterns are reconstructed across two phases represented at the Copper Age of Scaba 'e Arriu (Sardinia, Italy) via isotopic analysis of human and animal skeletal remains. Collagen carbon, nitrogen, and bioapatite carbon, and oxygen isotopes were used to infer diet, economic practices, and possibly different climatic conditions. Differential management of cattle, sheep/goats, and pigs was detected, with scarce animal product…
An isotopic investigation on diet and inequality
Glue
A variety of glues, made from hides, fish, and other substances, served a wide range of functions throughout the ancient world. Glue was used in the manufacture of arms and armor, carpentry, Egyptian cartonnage, and other craft products as well as being an ingredient in some paints, medicines, and cosmetics.
Insects
Countless species of insect inhabit the Mediterranean and Near East, and many of them influenced, directly or indirectly, the lives of those who inhabited these regions in antiquity. Their impact ranged from merely irritating (e.g., gnats) to potentially devastating (e.g., locusts) or lucrative (bees, silk worms). Ancient zoological and agricultural texts discuss insects at considerable length, and these animals regularly appear in other genres o…

Bullion
Bullion – uncoined gold, silver, or other metals – functioned as a store of wealth, means of payment, and standard of value in the ancient Near East, Greece, and Rome prior to and even after the advent of coinage. While bullion was certainly an important currency in many Mediterranean economies, a lack of evidence makes it difficult to gauge the scale of its use.
Irrigation, Greece and Rome
Irrigation is the provision of water for agricultural purposes by artificial means, usually from rivers, streams, and springs diverted by means of dams, canals, aqueducts, or ditches.
Credit
Credit (from the Latin creditum , “loan”), in the economic sense of the word, indicates the reception of, or ability to receive, goods, services, or money with payment (or repayment in the case of money) deferred to a later date.
Taxation, Roman
Roman taxation took an array of forms and varied across time and space as well as with respect to what was collected and by whom.
Agrarian laws
Agrarian laws are laws regulating the possession and exploitation of agricultural land. Since all ancient economies were overwhelmingly agricultural, the ruling classes always had considerable incentive to establish such rules.
Tresviri monetales
The tresviri monetales were three Roman magistrates responsible for minting bronze, silver, and gold coins.
Bronze coinage
Bronze coinage, struck or cast from an alloy of copper and tin, formed a major part of Greek and Roman monetary systems throughout much of Classical Antiquity.
Money, Greco‐Roman
While there continues to be much debate over the definition of “money” (see, e.g., Harris 2008), few economic historians would now subscribe to M. I. Finley's declaration (1985: 196) that, in the Greco‐Roman world, it was “essentially coined metal and nothing else.”
Coinage, Roman Republic
The coinage of the Roman Republic provides crucial evidence for economic conditions, as well as political and cultural developments, in an empire that came to encompass the entire Mediterranean basin in the last three centuries BCE . Though scholars have challenged or modified some of his conclusions, Michael Crawford's Roman Republican Coinage (1974), featuring a catalogue of all known Roman issues down to 31 BCE , remains the fundamental resour…

Chapter Five. Monetary Zones
Chapter Two. Roman Coinage
The supply of Roman money grew rapidly over the last two centuries of the Republic and it is likely that more and more people came to use coinage for more of their transactions. This chapter examines the state’s production of silver, gold, and bronze coins during this period and what that suggests about Roman demand for coinage. The supply of Roman silver coinage increased to betweenfive and ten times its initial size in the late Republic and, fr…
Chapter Three. Financial Instruments
Chapter Six. The Demand For Roman Money
Coins competed with bullion, financial instruments and other forms of pecunia which could in certain circumstances perform monetary functions. The supply of coinage grew dramatically in the late Republic. Demand theory posits that money is just one of many forms in which wealth can be held and that an individual’s demand for money will depend on the utility and potential returns offered by a range of assets. At Rome and in other urban areas the d…
Money in the Late Roman Republic
Roman monetary history has tended to focus on the study of Roman coinage but other assets regularly functioned as, or in place of, money. This book places coinage in its broader monetary context by also examining the role of bullion, financial instruments, and commodities such as grain and wine in making payments, facilitating exchange, measuring value and storing wealth. The use of such assets reduced the demand for coinage in some sectors of th…

Reconstructing Mesopotamian Exchange Networks in the 4th Millennium BC
Archaeologists interested in primary and secondary state formation have often focused their research on inter-regional exchange and cross-cultural interaction. The organization of exchange in the Uruk expansion - the world's first colonial trading system - was examined in a collaborative project of archaeologists and geochemists to determine sources of ancient bitumen (natural petroleum tar) artifacts from an early Mesopotamian trading colony in …
Annealing, distilling, reheating and recycling
Throughout the prehistory and history of the Near East, natural petroleum tar or bitumen was commonly used for waterproofing, mastic, sealing, mortar, medicine, magic and even warfare. The people of ancient Mesopotamia manipulated this adhesive to lower its melting temperature in order to conserve fuel in an area where timber was a scarce resource. Not only was heat employed to change the chemistry of the bitumen to make it more workable, but the…

Veterans, Agriculture, and Monetization in the Late Roman Republic
In Ancimt Literaq William V. Harris argued that the Greeks and Romans never achieved mass literacy in part because they lacked an "essential instrument," that is "an extensive netwotk of schools ... subsidized by religion or by the state."2 The Romans did, however, have one large and very well ~ded educational institution: the army. Though it may never have taught reading and writing,3 the Roman anny was constantly training tens of thousands of s…
