Kai Ruffing gives a clear and reliable entry into the economy of antiquity with this volume. The main focus is on the Mediterranean world with the focus of Greek and Roman economic history. The chronological spectrum ranges from the Early Iron Age, i.e. from the 10th / 9th Century BC, until the emperor Diocletian took reign in 284 AD. Attention is paid not only to the literary sources, but above all the epigraphic and papyrological testimonies as well as the archaeological finds and findings. Against this background, the importance of economic aspects also becomes clear for the history of the Old World.
