{"product_id":"the-roman-agricultural-economy-alan-bowman-9780198788522","title":"The Roman Agricultural Economy: Organization, Investment, and Production","description":"This volume is a collection of studies which presents new analyses of the nature and scale of Roman agriculture in the Mediterranean world from c. 100 BC to AD 350. It provides a clear understanding of the fundamental features of Roman agricultural production through studying the documentary and archaeological evidence for the modes of land exploitation and the organization, development of, and investment in this sector of the Roman economy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMoving substantially beyond the simple assumption that agriculture was the dominant sector of the ancient economy, the volume explores what was special and distinctive about it, especially with a view of its development and integration during a period of expansion and prosperity across the empire. The papers exemplify a range of possible approaches to studying and, within limits, quantifying aspects of Roman agricultural production, marshalling a large quantity of evidence, chiefly archaeological and papyrological, to address important questions of the organization and performance of this sector in the Roman world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Bowman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198788525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198788522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Alan Bowman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054687744255,"sku":"9780198788522","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d7536fe-352d-4ed7-874d-414842d32431.jpg?v=1685031404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-roman-agricultural-economy-alan-bowman-9780198788522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
