Mandate and the Management of Business in the Roman Empire
This chapter examines the role that the contract of mandate ( mandatum ) and the related institution of “unauthorized administration” ( negotia gesta ) played in Roman economic life. Mandate represented a major form of agency in Roman society, but it presents problems of incentives because it was uncompensated: the agent might carry out significant tasks for the principal, or mandator; these tasks might involve considerable expense and even finan…
Roman Law and Economics: Institutions and Organizations Volume I
Ancient Rome is the only society in the history of the western world whose legal profession evolved autonomously, distinct and separate from institutions of political and religious power. Roman legal thought has left behind an enduring legacy and exerted enormous influence on the shaping of modern legal frameworks and systems, but its own genesis and context pose their own explanatory problems. The economic analysis of Roman law has enormous unta…
Paul
Paul, along with Papinian and Ulpian, was one of the leading Late Classical jurists of the Severan age. Little is known about his origins, but like other jurists of this age, he held important posts connected with legal administration under the Severan emperors. One of the jurists most often cited in the Digest of Justinian, Paul was a voluminous writer. He wrote on virtually every subject in Roman law, with extended treatments of the civil law a…
Labeo
Labeo was a leading jurist of the Augustan age and his writings, on a variety of topics, influenced the subsequent juristic tradition. Under Augustus, Labeo maintained the strong republican sympathies of his father, who took his life after the battle of Philippi, and in the Roman historiographical tradition he represented a voice of fierce independence from the emperor. He was a prolific writer; his most important works included a commentary on t…
Ari Z. Bryen. Violence in Roman Egypt: A Study in Legal Interpretation
In recent years, scholars of law in the Roman Empire have increasingly focused on the legal culture in the provinces. This has led to a greater understanding of the role that legal institutions played in the daily lives of people across the Roman Empire, as well as the complex interplay between Roman law and local legal traditions. In this volume, Ari Z. Bryen sheds important new light on these issues by examining a particular class of petitions …
The State and Production in the Roman Agrarian Economy
This chapter examines two main aspects of the Roman agrarian economy in relation to the state: the state as landowner and economic actor; and the various legal and administrative policies that the state developed for the rural economy. Under the first heading, it considers the effect of state taxes and of rents on imperial estates on the rural economy. Under the second, it analyses Roman legal policy in relation to private land tenure, including …
Aldo SCHIAVONE. The Invention of Law in the West
In this monumental book, a translation of Ius: L'invenzione del diritto in Occidente (2005), Aldo Schiavone traces the history of Roman jurisprudence from the beginnings of Rome until the late classical period of Roman law in the third century c.e. Drawing on his considerable knowledge of Roman history, culture, and law, Schiavone focuses on arguably the greatest intellectual achievement of Roman society, the creation of a system of law, ius, tha…
Rational actor models
“Rational actor models,” drawn from the social sciences, provide a way of understanding human behavior that has implications for a wide variety of issues in the ancient world. Its premise, based in economics, is that people seek to make “rational” or informed choices to maximize their utility.
Emphyteusis
The term emphyteusis denotes a permanent right to land in Late Antiquity that a possessor acquired from its owner, often the Roman state or even the Church, in exchange for the payment of an annual rent, or canon . The emphyteutic right was defined as distinct from sale and lease, two forms of contract with which it was recognized as sharing commonalities (Zeno, CJ 4.66.1; Just. Inst . 3.24.3). This right could be sold or bequeathed, so the emphy…
Sharecropping
Sharecropping represents a basic form of land tenure in the ancient world, as it does in many other societies.
Risk (Management)
As is the case in any period of history, economic activity in the ancient world was subject to substantial risk, and its management was essential to safeguarding the welfare and security of individuals and families. Moreover, the proper allocation of risk in business activities provided incentives for people to enter into productive contractual arrangements. Put differently, if either party in a business arrangement bore risks for the other's fai…
Possessio
In the Roman law of property, possessio denoted the lawful physical and intentional occupation of property, including land and movable property, even when the person doing so was not the legal owner.
Decretum de saltu Burunitano
The decretum de saltu Burunitano is an inscription from an imperial estate in the Bagradas (modern Medjerda) valley in the Roman province of Africa, dated to the reign of Commodus ( CIL VIII 10570, 14454, 182 CE ).
Purchase, Greek and Roman
The buying and selling of property was basic to economic life in Greece and Rome. Most sales were simple transactions in which the buyer paid cash for an item of property. However, the law surrounding sale is important for the ways in which Greek and Roman society arranged more complex transactions, such as sales of farmland or other real estate, sales on credit, and advance sales, especially of crops. In addition, complex contracts of sale creat…
Tenancy, Greek and Roman
Farm tenancy, involving one person cultivating the land belonging to another in exchange for some kind of payment, was a basic institution in the ancient economy, as it is in virtually all preindustrial agrarian economies.
Dominium
In the Roman law of property, the term dominium denoted ownership, a carefully defined right that was to be distinguished from the lawful occupation of property, or possession (Kaser 1971: 119–34, 400–47).
Lex Manciana
The Lex Manciana was a tenure arrangement on imperial estates in North Africa during the Early Roman Empire.
Manceps
The term manceps (plural mancipes ) most commonly refers to an individual who undertook a public contract with the Roman state.
Contract labor
The role of slave labor has rightfully been a focus of historians assessing the performance of the Roman economy. But to develop a comprehensive picture of economic relationships in the Roman Empire, one must assess the situation of the empire's vast class of small-scale landowners, tenants, artisans, and people engaging in various forms of wage labor. Often these groups overlapped. So a basic question is the degree to which economic growth in th…

Law and Economic Institutions
The landscape of the Greek and Roman economies is invariably configured of individuals, and also of institutions, the organized activity of production and commerce. This chapter explores, within the ancient world, to what extent was economic growth fostered or impeded by the institutional and legal framework within which the Greek and Roman economies operated. The question may be at least formally addressed through modern scholarly methods associ…
The Early Roman Empire: Production
Commerce and manufacturing certainly occupied a significant place in the early Roman economy. Large landowners and small farmers depended for their livelihoods on the production of surpluses for the market. In Roman agriculture, most common method for cultivating wheat was the two-field system. The Roman empire also witnessed construction of modest sized-estates which regularly included a pars urbana, an often lavishly adorned farmhouse, and a pa…

Private and Imperial Management of Roman Estates in North Africa
During the second century, North Africa was one of the Roman empire's most important producers of food, supplying perhaps two-thirds of the grain consumed in Rome. In addition, North African olive oil was exported all over the Western Mediterranean. The Roman imperial government took a continuing interest in North Africa's importance as an agricultural center and so maintained control over a large proportion of North African farmland. One of the …

Investment, Profit, and Tenancy: The Jurists and the Roman Agrarian Economy
The economy of the Roman Empire was dominated by the business of agriculture. It employed the vast majority of the Empire's labor force and provided the wealth on which the upper classes depended for their social privileges. Consequently, the way in which upper-class Romans maintained and profited from their agricultural investments played a crucial role in shaping the basic relationships characterizing the Roman economy.In Investment, Profit, an…
