{"product_id":"the-grain-market-in-the-paul-erdkamp-9780521838788","title":"The Grain Market in the Roman Empire","description":"Paul Erdkamp illustrates how entitlement to food in Roman society was dependent on relations with the emperor, his representatives and the landowning aristocracy, and local rulers controlling the towns and hinterlands. He assesses the response of the Roman authorities to weaknesses in the grain market and looks at the implications of the failure of local harvests. By examining the subject from a contemporary perspective, this book will appeal not only to historians of ancient economies, but to all concerned with the economy of grain markets, a subject which still resonates today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Erdkamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521838789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521838788\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 11\/03\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Paul Erdkamp","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47427409707263,"sku":"9780521838788","price":143.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48ab7fc1-bfc3-4f9d-9e8e-26a23258e477.jpg?v=1761579373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grain-market-in-the-paul-erdkamp-9780521838788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
