Arqueología y Téchne: Métodos formales, nuevos enfoques
Presents papers resulting from the EPNet project (Production and Distribution of Food during the Roman Empire: Economic and Political Dynamics) which aimed to investigate existing hypotheses about the Roman economy in order to understand which products were distributed through the different geographical regions of the empire, and in which periods.
The Romans and Trade
Andre Tchernia is one of the leading experts on amphorae as a source of economic history, a pioneer of maritime archaeology, and author of a wealth of articles on Roman trade, notably the wine trade. This book brings together the author's previously published essays, updated and revised, with recent notes and prefaced with an entirely new synthesis of his views on Roman commerce with a particular emphasis on the people involved in it. The book is divided into two main parts. The first is a general study of the structure of Roman trade: landowners and traders, traders' fortunes, the matter of the market, the role of the state, and dispatching what is required. It tackles the recent debates on...
Economic evidence and the changing nature of urban space in late antique Rome
Economic Evidence and Changing Nature of Urban Space in Late Antique Rome by Paul Johnson, is an innovative study that focuses upon the relationship between the importation of amphora-borne foodstuffs, their distribution and discard within the City and what this tells us about changing uses of urban space between the 3rd and 6th centuries AD. There have been a number of archaeological studies of late antique Rome in recent years, most notably Roma dall’antichità all’alto Medievo I and II, as well as a long tradition of studies that have focused upon the pattern of imports to the City. However the relationship between imported foodstuffs and the City as an urban unit has not been so well served.
Rome
When Rome: An Empire's Story first appeared in 2012, it quickly established itself as the classic single-volume history of an empire, whose duration, geographical extent, and profound legacy still inspire awe. This new edition has been completely revised to take into account the very latest research, including studies of climate change and ecology. The volume also engages in greater detail than the first edition with the later Roman empire, and with the material culture of empire. Book jacket.
The Impact of the Roman Army (200 BC-AD 476)
This sixth volume of the network Impact of Empire offers a comprehensive reading on the economic, political, religious and cultural impact of Roman military forces on the regions that were dominated by the Roman Empire.
Materialising the Roman Empire
Materialising the Roman Empire defines an innovative research agenda for Roman archaeology, highlighting the diverse ways in which the Empire was made materially tangible in the lives of its inhabitants. The volume explores how material culture was integral to the processes of imperialism, both as the Empire grew, and as it fragmented, and in doing so provide up-to-date overviews of major topics in Roman archaeology. Each chapter offers a critical overview of a major field within the archaeology of the Roman Empire. The book’s authors explore the distinctive contribution that archaeology and the study of material culture can make to our understanding of the key institutions and fields of a...

The Resilience of the Roman Empire
The Resilience of the Roman Empire discusses the relationship between population and regional development in the Roman world from the perspective of archaeology. By adapting a comparative approach, the focus of the volume lies on exploring the various ways in which regional communities actively responded to population growth or decline in order to keep going on the land available to them. The starting point of the theoretical framework for the case studies is the agricultural intensification models developed by Thomas Malthus and Ester Boserup. In order to advance the debate on the validity of these models for identifying the societal and economic pathways of the Roman world, the contributor...
Ex Baetica Roman
Este volumen recoge las contribuciones que colegas y discípulos dedican a José Remesal con motivo de su jubilación como catedrático de Historia Antigua de la Universidad de Barcelona. El contenido es, forzosamente, heterogéneo dada la cantidad de participantes y la diversidad de campos de conocimiento que abarca: de la historia del Próximo Oriente a la antigüedad tardía, de la historia económica a la social, pasando por las instituciones y el derecho. Este hecho refleja la amplitud del magisterio del profesor Remesal, cuyos discípulos trabajan en ámbitos de investigación muy diferentes. Evidencia, igualmente, una constante de su actividad científica y de su personalidad: su curiosidad por explorar argumentos nuevos desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria.
