Yet there is still much debate about its interpretation. Although this debate is mainly conducted at the empire-wide level, regional syntheses are indispensable to its further advancement. This book contributes to that purpose by providing a comprehensive account of the Roman impact on the economy of the Lower Germanic Limes region. By drawing on a large number of scattered publications and (archaeological) datasets, the work demonstrates that Roman rule also led to important economic developments in a part of the empire that was remote from its Mediterranean heartland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  List of Figures and Tables    1 Introduction   1.1 The Debate about Roman Economic Growth   1.2 This Book’s Contribution    2 Setting the Stage   2.1 The Natural Landscape   2.2 The Pre-Roman Economy   2.3 Conclusions    3 The Roman Impact   3.1 The Roman Army   3.2 Urbanisation   3.3 Population Growth   3.4 Roman Institutions   3.5 Infrastructure   3.6 Conclusions    4 Agricultural Production   4.1 Long-Term Developments   4.2 The Villa Landscape   4.3 The Non-villa Landscapes   4.4 Conclusions    5 Non-agricultural Production   5.1 Extractive Industries   5.2 Manufacturing    6 Trade   6.1 Amphorae   6.2 Terra sigillata   6.3 Trade with Other Regions   6.4 The Traders   6.5 Conclusions    7 Living Standards   7.1 Housebuilding   7.2 Mobile Material Culture   7.3 Conclusions    8 Final Conclusions   8.1 Synthesis   8.2 Interpretation   8.3 Future Research  Appendix 1  Appendix 2  Appendix 3","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210873397591,"sku":"9789004682207","price":123.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-roman-impact-on-the-economy-of-the-lower-germanic-limes-region-9789004682207","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
