Roman Bazaar

Explore the fascinating intersection of history, commerce, and culture in "Roman Bazaar" by Peter F. Bang, published by Cambridge University Press in 2008. In this compelling hardback edition, spanning 376 pages, Bang challenges the conventional notion that the Roman economy mirrored that of early modern Europe. Instead, he presents a thought-provoking argument that Roman trade and markets share more similarities with those of the Mughal Empire in India.

Perfect for history enthusiasts and scholars alike, "Roman Bazaar" invites readers to rethink their understanding of economic practices during one of civilization's most influential eras.
