ABSTRACT
Originally published in 1927 this volume includes an economic history of Rome from the origins to the Empire, with four illustrations and six maps. It is the fourth volume to appear in a section on ancient Rome. A period of nearly 1200 years is covered, tracing the economic life of Rome from the age of primitive industry and pastoral life to the organised labour and complex civilisation of the late Empire. The economic aspect of Roman history, neglected though it has been, is in truth the basis of its political, diplomatic, and military history.
