Opis

This volume presents a challenge to the long-held view that the predominantly agricultural economies of ancient Greece and Rome were underdeveloped. This is achieved through investigating the economic significance of non-agricultural production - the extractive industries, the exploitation of natural resources, manufacturing and the building trade.

Recenzje

'This collection of papers is an important and valuable attempt to set them [discussions] off in the right direction, containing more intereting material and anaylsis than I can cover here. I recommend it warmly.' - Classical Review
