Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[Terpstra's] case studies are valuable and thought-provoking contributions to ongoing debates about trade practice in the ancient world."
---Miko Flohr, Sehepunkte"The book certainly comprises a stimulating and well written account, including rich historical details. It thus is definitely a welcome addition to the ongoing debate on the ancient economy."
---Lieve Donnellan, Ancient West and East"
The questions [Trade in the Ancient Mediterranean] explores are germane to those seeking to conceptualize how traders negotiated within host communities and states across the Mediterranean over time, which has significant implications for economic history. As Classics and Ancient History seek to reinvent the questions they ask of source material and justify a place in broader discussions in the academy, such a multidisciplinary and cross-cultural approach should serve as useful precedent.—Andrew Hogan, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
