The economies of Antiquity change, and they change profoundly. There is no single ancient economy, more or less identical to itself from Homer to Constantine. The contributions gathered in this book establish a dialogue between textual historians, archaeologists, technologists, and environmentalists to understand the driving forces behind these transformations. From India to the Atlantic, by giving priority to the evaluation of existing sources and the production of new data, they follow certain products and techniques from their development to their dissemination, without hiding the setbacks and reversals. It is the diversity and dynamics of the ancient worlds, in all their originality, that are revealed here.
