it has much to offer anyone with a serious interest in how the
Roman Empire managed to survive and to feed a growing population
for several centuries. I commend the book to such readers.
*Rupert Jackson, Classics for All*
The Roman Agricultural Economy contains wide-ranging and
high-quality scholarship that, on the one hand, reflects the focus
of current investigations and, on the other, provides fruitful
material for future research. This balance renders it a welcome
addition to scholarship on the Roman economy, and a worthy
successor in the OXREP series.
