Compare Banking And Business In The Roman World by Jean Andreau, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This is the first book to present a synthetic view of Roman banking and financial life from the fourth century BC to the end of the third century AD. It describes the business deals of the elite and the professional bankers and the interventions of the state. It shows to what extent the spirit of profit and enterprise predominated over the traditional values of Rome, what economic role these financiers played, and how that role compares with that of their later counterparts. | Banking And Business In The Roman World by Jean Andreau, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
