Bücher von Renate Lafer

This volume offers new insights from economic and social history, with a focus on the area between the Alps and the Adriatic. Alongside results from an analysis of written sources, it is in particular work with coinage and papyrological studies on papyri from Egypt that afford insights into daily life and economic life in the Roman Empire. In addition, new studies on diverse kinds of small finds and archaeological artefacts also provide information on questions of social and economic history. The contributions have been written by internationally renowned ancient scholars. Geographically, they cover the area between the Alps and the Adriatic, including Egypt and Asia Minor. They have therefore been written in German, English and Italian.
