Description:
This collection addresses the nature of trade, and the effects it had in cities throughout the ancient world -- from the Bronze Age Near East to late Roman northern Italy -- and challenges the received notion of the unsophisticated nature of early trade. The book explores a variety of aspects of ancient trade, including a study of archaic central Italy which stresses the role of the artisan in social development, and a discussion of the complex issue of the exchange of grain between Athens and the Black Sea in the fifth and fourth centuries.
