<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 877610, member: 9204&quot;]Yes! A phenomenal book. I&#039;ve heard him lecture, he&#039;s extremely passionate. The most important contribution to the study of the Roman economy is really the explanation of the tax system and the importance of coinage to it. If you&#039;re interested in this, I recommend you read some other books too:</p><p><br /></p><p>Andreau, Jean</p><p>1999 <i>Banking and Business in the Roman World</i>. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bang, Peter Fibiger</p><p>2008 <i>The Roman Bazaar: A Comparative Study of Trade and Markets in a Tributary Empire</i>. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finley, Moses I.</p><p>1985 [1970] <i>The Ancient Economy. </i>University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rostovtsev, Michael</p><p>1926 <i>The Social &amp; Economic History of the Roman Empire</i>. Clarendon Press, Oxford.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another outstanding work.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not reading any books at the moment, per se, but I am working through the articles in the 2009 issue of <i>The American Journal of Numismatics</i>. Outstanding scholarship in there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
