  abstract: In this book André Tchernia brings together previously published work, updates and revises it in the light of new material, and prefaces it with an entirely new synthesis of views on Roman commerce, emphasizing in particular the people involved. The book is divided into two main parts. The first, the core part of the book, is a general study of the structure of Roman trade: the landowners and traders, traders' fortunes, the market, the role of the state, and how needs were met. It tackles recent debates on Roman trade and the Roman economy, providing original and convincing answers. The second part of the book is a selection of previously published works, which range from discussions of general topics such as notions of crisis and competition, the provisioning of ancient Rome, and trade with the East, to more specialized studies, including the interpretation of the plebiscitum Claudianum and the crisis of ad 33. In sum, the book contains insights into the workings of ancient trade and combines discussion of the material evidence--especially of amphorae and wrecks--with the prosopographical approach derived from historical data contained in inscriptions, papyri, and other written sources.
