Mediterraneo antico

I tempi del cambiamento. Assetti produttivi, dinamiche commerciali e contesti d’uso a Roma tra la guerra annibalica e la caduta di Cartagine

The period between the end of the third and the mid-second centuries BCE is a crucial moment for the history of economic and social life in Rome. In fact, for the first time, thanks to Plautus’ and Terence’s comedies, as well as Cato’s treatise De Agri Coltura, it is possible to reconstruct an articulated picture of the productive and commercial activities that took place inside the city and of the people (producers, traders, consumers) who took part in it.
