Summary
This book, a sequel to The Economy of the Roman Empire: Quantitative Studies, carries the discussion into further areas of the Roman economy. Some related discussions of numismatic and metrological problems have been separately published as articles, and are referred to in the text where necessary.
Eight of the thirteen chapters are new. The remaining five, which are versions of studies first published as articles, have been reworked for the purposes of the book (chapters 5, 7, 8, 9 and 11: the corresponding earlier publications are listed in the Bibliography under the years (1977), (1979A), (1980A); (1978); (1976A); (1976B); and (1985).
I should like to express a continuing debt to the teaching of the late Professor A.H.M. Jones, notwithstanding the fact that two of the chapters below seek to modify certain conclusions in Jones's pioneering survey of the Later Roman Empire.
