{"product_id":"structure-and-scale-in-the-richard-duncan-jones-9780521892896","title":"Structure and Scale in the Roman Economy","description":"This book by the author of The Economy of the Roman Empire: Quantitative Studies considers important interlocking themes. Did the Roman Empire have a single 'national' economy, or was its economy localised and fragmented? Can coin and pottery survivals demonstrate the importance of long-distance trade? How fast did essential news travel by sea, and what does that imply about Mediterranean sailing-patterns? Further subjects considered include taxation, commodity-prices, demography, and army pay and manpower. The book is very wide-ranging in its geographical coverage and in the evidence that it explores. By analysing specific features of the economy the contrasting discussions examine important questions about its character and limitations, and about how surviving evidence should be interpreted. The book throws new and significant light on the economic life of Europe and the Mediterranean in antiquity, and will be valuable to ancient historians and students of European economic history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Duncan-Jones,Duncan-Jones Richard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521892899\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521892896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.16w x 0.75d","brand":"Richard Duncan-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443509539071,"sku":"9780521892896","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d74e4a40-608f-4b40-8289-8d6e6c546b7f.jpg?v=1777205964","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/structure-and-scale-in-the-richard-duncan-jones-9780521892896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
