The Roman conquest of much of the west Mediterranean led to major transformations and this study discusses some aspects of the economic and political impact of such changes.

Following on from the author's previous study La Elaboracion del Circulo Productivo Romano como Imperio Mediterraneo (348-218 AC), this volume presents an interpretation of the control, volume and mechanisms of trade and commerce and its significance in the political history of Rome and the Mediterranean.

Gadir, now the capital of the province of Cadiz, was founded by the Phoenicians possibly as early as the 10th or 9th century BC. Gadir, meaning 'walled city', was established as a trading post and soon flourished to become a major commerical and political entity.
