Bagnall laTe RoMan DaTa ColleCTion Modern attempts to quantify aspects of life in the ancient world tend to rely mainly on the collection or creation of data from documents or artifacts. We clas- sify and count, whether individuals in households or names or pots or shipwrecks. Most of the papers in this volume refer to investigations of this type, and so do most of my own past forays into quantification of social and economic phenom- ena. 1 on such studies is based the recent synthesis of the economic history of an- tiquity in The Cambridge Economic History of the Greco-Roman World. 2 This approach has been driven in large part by the fact that ancient authors do not tend to give us the kind of statistics we are accustomed to in the modern world and ar- dently desire for antiquity, but also by widespread and often well-founded distrust of most of the numbers preserved in ancient authors.

  • Elio Lo Cascio & Paolo Malanima
    Ancient and Pre-Modern Economies GDP in the Roman Empire and Early Modern Europe Elio Lo Cascio & Paolo Malanima (2011) Venezia, March 21st- 25th 2011 Estimates of per capita and aggregate GDP in the early Roman Empire are pre- sented, discussed and tested. Then a comparison is proposed between these es- timates and GDP in late medieval and early modern European economies. The re- sult is that Roman per capita GDP two thousand years ago was the same as that of other pre-modern agrarian economies before modern growth. Pre-modern product per capita in ancient Mediterranean civilisations underwent cycles of rise and de- cline within a narrow range. A long-term progressive path from Antiquity to the eve of modernisation is not confirmed by the available evidence. 1. Diverse estimates 2. A similar method 3. The procedure 4. Testing the data 5. Roman and pre-modern economies 6. The conclusions by Goldsmith and Maddison 7. Per capita GDP in sesterces, wheat and dollars 8. The poverty line Conclusion Elio Lo Cascio [email protected] Paolo Malanima [email protected] Ancient and Pre-Modern Economies GDP in Roman Empire and Early Modern Europe Elio Lo Cascio & Paolo Malanima Were the ancient Greeks and Romans richer or poorer than medieval and early modern European inhabitants? Was the productive capacity of the ancient Euro-Mediterranean economies comparable to that of the late Middle Ages and early Modern European civilizations? How far was ancient per capita GDP from that of our modern advanced societies? Some 40 years after the renowned work by Finley (1973) on the an- cient economy, historians of the ancient Greek and Roman world share a very diverse perspective and stress the rising trend of product, aggregate and per capita, both in the classical Greek economy of the 8th- 4th century BC and in the Roman civilization during the last centuries of the Republic and the first of the Principate (Scheidel, Morris, Saller (eds.) 2007).

  • Roman Population Size: the Logic of the Debate
    Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Roman population size: the logic of the debate Version 2.0 July 2007 Walter Scheidel Stanford University Abstract: This paper provides a critical assessment of the current state of the debate about the number of Roman citizens and the size of the population of Roman Italy. Rather than trying to make a case for a particular reading of the evidence, it aims to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of rival approaches and examine the validity of existing arguments and critiques. After a brief survey of the evidence and the principal positions of modern scholarship, it focuses on a number of salient issues such as urbanization, military service, labor markets, political stability, living standards, and carrying capacity, and considers the significance of field surveys and comparative demographic evidence. © Walter Scheidel. [email protected] 1 1. Roman population size: why it matters Our ignorance of ancient population numbers is one of the biggest obstacles to our understanding of Roman history. After generations of prolific scholarship, we still do not know how many people inhabited Roman Italy and the Mediterranean at any given point in time. When I say ‘we do not know’ I do not simply mean that we lack numbers that are both precise and safely known to be accurate: that would surely be an unreasonably high standard to apply to any pre-modern society. What I mean is that even the appropriate order of magnitude remains a matter of intense dispute. This uncertainty profoundly affects modern reconstructions of Roman history in two ways. First of all, our estimates of overall Italian population number are to a large extent a direct function of our views on the size of the Roman citizenry, and inevitably shape any broader guesses concerning the demography of the Roman empire as a whole.

  • 1 the Economy of the Early Roman Empire Peter Temin Draft 2.2 Why
    The Economy of the Early Roman Empire Peter Temin Draft 2.2 Why should economists be interested in the economics of ancient Rome? The Roman literature we read and the ruins we visit suggest that there was a flourishing and apparently prosperous economy two millennia ago. How did they do it? How was the Roman economy organized? Recent research suggests some answers. I focus on the early Roman Empire. It followed the Roman Republic in 27 BCE with the development under Augustus of a monarchy known as the Principate. It was followed in turn by the late Roman Empire that began around 200 CE, when the failings of Imperial control led to political and economic instability and the subsequent decline of the Augustan Principate (Goodman, 1997). Most of the surviving literature comes from the late Republic or the early Empire; the ruins we see overwhelmingly date from the early Empire. I use evidence from the late Republic and early Empire, which appear to have witnessed widespread economic prosperity and possibly economic growth. A prominent ancient historian estimated that the Italian peninsula was about 30 percent urbanized in the early Roman Empire (Hopkins, 1978, p. 68). Using urbanization as an index of per capita income suggests that GDP per capita in Roman Italy was comparable to that in the late 17th century in England and Holland, the most advanced European economies before the Industrial Revolution. This very rough index is supported by an equally rough calculation of real wages, defined as wages divided by the 1 price of wheat (Allen, 2001; Temin, 2005).

  • Debasement and the Decline of Rome Kevin Butcher1
    Debasement and the decline of Rome KEVIN BUTCHER1 On April 23, 1919, the London Daily Chronicle carried an article that claimed to contain notes of an interview with Lenin, conveyed by an anonymous visitor to Moscow.2 This explained how ‘the high priest of Bolshevism’ had a plan ‘for the annihilation of the power of money in this world.’ The plan was presented in a collection of quotations allegedly from Lenin’s own mouth: “Hundreds of thousands of rouble notes are being issued daily by our treasury. This is done, not in order to fill the coffers of the State with practically worthless paper, but with the deliberate intention of destroying the value of money as a means of payment … The simplest way to exterminate the very spirit of capitalism is therefore to flood the country with notes of a high face-value without financial guarantees of any sort. Already the hundred-rouble note is almost valueless in Russia. Soon even the simplest peasant will realise that it is only a scrap of paper … and the great illusion of the value and power of money, on which the capitalist state is based, will have been destroyed. This is the real reason why our presses are printing rouble bills day and night, without rest.” Whether Lenin really uttered these words is uncertain.3 What seems certain, however, is that the real reason the Russian presses were printing money was not to destroy the very concept of money. It was to finance their war against their political opponents. The reality was that the Bolsheviks had carelessly created the conditions for hyperinflation.

  • Late Antiquity in Modern Eyes
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Philipp Rousseau (Hrsg.), A companion to Late Antiquity, Malden, Mass. 2009, St. 77-92 CHAPTER SIX Late Antiquity in Modern Eyes Stefan Rebenich On September 12, 1921, during an autumn colloquium on the arts and sciences, Ernst Kornemann (1868-1946) gave a lecture in Kiel on the decline of the ancient world. He described the topic of his address as “the problem of problems ” in historiography. Then he proposed a possible solution: he suggested that the prosper ­ ity at the time of imperial rule had generated decadence everywhere, paralyzed social cohesion, destroyed the military masculine morale that had once made Rome great, and led the emperors to pursue an illusory policy of peace. In consequence, cultural life had come under the detrimental influence of a collectivist religiosity of eastern provenance (Kornemann 1922). That was not an original view. In the humanities, the problem formulated by Kornemann had been an enigma for centuries - and it still is. The discussion centered on two questions: why did the Roman Empire decline; and when did this decline occur? Let us first address the associated division of history into periods. Italian scholars of the Renaissance thought in terms of antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the modern age - a model still familiar today. This model, which displaced the universal historical periodization characteristic of the Christian tradition - especially the theory of the four empires - was based on the assumption that the so-called Middle Ages had been a 1,000-year-long period of decline. That decline had to be overcome by bringing about a new epoch, one that would be connected to the period these scholars regarded as their norm: pagan and Christian antiquity.
