<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancientone, post: 4502042, member: 71599&quot;]The Edict of Diocletian, 301 AD, was meant to control inflation on goods and services by stopping merchants and shopkeepers from being excessively greedy.&nbsp; It lists over a thousand article prices in denarii and is the longest surviving legislation from the tetrarchy. This 1920 copy seems to be scarce and I&#039;m feeling lucky to have acquired it. Anyway I thought it would be interesting to post some of the lists to get an idea of costs for the period. The first few pages are goods and last page is services.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116482[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116486[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116487[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116488[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1116489[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
