Money, Culture, and Well-Being in Rome's Economic Development, 0-275 CE de Daniel Hoyer

Money, Culture, and Well-Being in Rome's Economic Development, 0-275 CE: Mnemosyne, Supplements / Mnemosyne, Supplements, History and Archaeology of Classical Antiquity, cartea 412

Autor Daniel Hoyer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mar 2018
The Roman Empire has long held pride of place in the collective memory of scholars, politicians, and the general public in the western world. In Money, Culture, and Well-Being in Rome's Economic Development, 0-275 CE, Daniel Hoyer offers a new approach to explain Rome's remarkable development.

Hoyer surveys a broad selection of material to see how this diverse body of evidence can be reconciled to produce a single, coherent picture of the Roman economy. Engaging with social scientific and economic theory, Hoyer highlights key issues in economic history, placing the Roman Empire in its rightful place as a special—but not wholly unique—example of a successful preindustrial state.

Recenzii

"Daniel Hoyer’s, Money, Culture, and Well-Being in Rome's Economic Development, 0-275 CE offers an even-handed appraisal of current debates in Roman economic history as well as novel interpretations derived from numismatic and epigraphic sources. (...) this book manages to tell a cohesive and compelling story through an intensive study of a limited body of evidence and a flexible although occasionally frustrating methodological framework.(...) His book ultimately presents a credible picture that deserves attention."Colin P. Elliott in BMCR 2018.11.40
