Peter Temin challenges the traditional view of the Roman Empire as a primitive agrarian society, arguing instead that it functioned as a sophisticated, integrated market economy. By applying modern economic principles to historical data, the author examines how trade, banking, and labor markets shaped the daily lives and long-term prosperity of Roman citizens across the Mediterranean basin.
