The Extramercantile Economies of Greek and Roman Cities
Extramercantile Economies of Greek and Roman Cities
"Recent work on the ancient economy has tended to concentrate on market exchange, but other forces also caused goods to change hands. Such nonmarket transfers ranged from small private gifts to the wholesale confiscation of cities, lands, and their peoples. The papers presented in this volume examine aspects of this extramercantile economy, particularly benefaction and the role of associations, as well as their impact on the market economy. This …
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…

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…
