Two other titles of the congress Archaeology and Economy in the Ancient World – Proceedings of the 19th International Congress of Classical Archaeology, Cologne/Bonn 2018
Grégory Mainet, Thomas Morard (Hrsg.) Roman Street and Urban Economy. Streets played a key role in shaping the ancient economic townscape. We usually consider streets simply as a thoroughfares for traffic, but this idea falls short of the facts as suggested by ancient authors like Martial or Juvenal.
Dimitri van Limbergen, Devi Taelman (Hrsg.) The Exploitation of Raw Materials in the Roman World: A Closer Look at Producer-Resource Dynamics. Compared to other pre-modern economies, the Roman world stands out for having developed a highly specialised and very productive manufacturing sector. This development led to the widespread and large-scale extraction of raw materials. Even in a territory as large as the Roman Empire, such activities put major pressure on the land.
