Rome and the Indian Ocean Trade from Augustus to the Early Third Century CE de Matthew A. Cobb

Rome and the Indian Ocean Trade from Augustus to the Early Third Century CE: Mnemosyne, Supplements / Mnemosyne, Supplements, History and Archaeology of Classical Antiquity, cartea 418

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 iul 2018
In Rome and the Indian Ocean Trade from Augustus to the Early Third Century CE Matthew Adam Cobb examines the development of commercial exchange between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean worlds from the Roman annexation of Egypt (30 BCE) up to the early third century CE.
Among the issues considered are the identities of those involved, how they organised and financed themselves, the challenges they faced (scheduling, logistics, security, sailing conditions), and the types of goods they traded.
Drawing upon an expanding corpus of new evidence, Cobb aims to reassess a number of long-standing scholarly assumptions about the nature of Roman participation in this trade. These range from its chronological development to its economic and social impact.

Recenzii

"Rome and the Indian Ocean Trade is a fascinating monograph on a subject that has grown more and more popular among scholars over the last century. (...) Overall, this book provides a very good introduction to the trade between the Roman Empire and the Indian Ocean. It will likely be of greatest interest to ancient economic historians, but the thorough descriptions and explanations of facts and concepts make the book accessible to a general, non-specialist audience. (...) The author is to be commended for producing a publication that is a valuable contribution to the study of ancient international trade and serves as a model for sound, well-reasoned scholarship." - Dario Nappo, in: CJ~online 2019.07.08
"Cobb präsentiert einen kenntnisreichen Überblick zum Osthandel, der sich auf eine breite Quellengrundlage stützt und den aktuellen Stand der Forschung widerspiegelt. Sein Verdienst ist es zweifellos, eine gelungene und auf umfangreichen eigenen Recherchen basierende Zusammenschau der jüngeren wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit dem Osthandel zu bieten. Sein Buch wird auch angesichts der ständig wachsenden und fast unüberschaubaren Literaturfülle weiteren Studien zur Thematik als Hilfsmittel willkommen sein." - Monika Schuol, Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2020.09.39
