Recenzii
"The merit of this book is to propose a global vision, over a large period of time, of the economic behaviour of these almost "mute" people that the Roman peasants are for us today."

Descriere
This monograph uses literary, archaeological, and comparative evidence to examine how farmers - from smallholders to the owners of large estates -bought and sold goods and services, lent and borrowed money, and cooperated or competed with one another.
