<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 452239, member: 4381&quot;]Well, I learned something and I&#039;m going to look more into this.&nbsp; Much of the Roman culture as I&#039;ve learned it is based on controlling lands and military force.&nbsp; It was much of a cast society, even with slavery.&nbsp; Obviously the urban centers had to use some money, but I didn&#039;t think it was on the scale of Western banking and commerce until the mid-1400&#039;s in Italy and Holland and up to the 16th Century for the rest of Europe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
