Book Description
From Book News, Inc.
An historical and numismatic study demonstrating how Romans used coined money in payrolls, tax collection, trade, and daily transactions over the course of a millennium. Harl (history, Tulane U.) skillfully blends a love of coins with solid economic history from literary and documentary sources and emphasizes the important role coins played in Roman expansionism (particularly in Egypt), offering a regional analysis of prices and wages throughout Roman history. The author's study often challenges current scholarship, bringing fresh perspectives to accepted economic theories. Includes 267 black and white plates of the coins discussed.
