Ancient history: to c 500 CE; Maritime history; Roman law

Bringing together specialists in ancient history, archaeology and Roman law, this book provides new perspectives on long-distance trade in the Roman world. Recent archaeological work has shown that maritime trade across the Mediterranean intensified greatly at the same time as the Roman state was extending its power overseas. This book explores aspects of this development and its relationship with changes in the legal and institutional apparatus that supported maritime commerce. It analyses the socio-legal framework within which maritime trade was conducted, and in doing so presents a new understanding of the role played by legal and social institutions in the economy of the Roman world.

Reviews for Roman Law and Maritime Commerce

Overall, the volume represents an important resource for any scholar investigating Roman law, maritime exchange or the ancient economy more broadly. Even with the diverse range of contributions, the volume works well as a cohesive whole, and each chapter clearly contributes towards a common goal of bringing a more interdisciplinary approach to these topics. The importance of maritime commerce in the Roman world and the complexity of understanding it is emphasised effectively throughout, and convincing and important developments in specific cases are argued for. [...] The book achieves its stated goals effectively and represents an important and impressive contribution to the scholarship of multiple fields within classical studies.--Andrew McLean, University of Edinburgh ""The Classical Review""
