Synopsis

Delve into the economic forces shaping Rome from the late Republic to its decline. This work, An Economic History of Rome to the End of the Republic, uses careful evidence to explain how policy shifts, debt, and coinage debasement influenced farms, markets, and daily life.

It helps readers understand the material underpinnings of Rome’s political and social shifts without focusing on a single dramatic event.
