Abstract

"The Introduction to this Companion sets out the chronological and geographical frame as well as the main issues in the study of the ancient Greek economy. It is targeted at a readership with no prior knowledge of the ancient economy and emphasises the importance of understanding economic structures, economic change and the causes for change. As research on the ancient economy is dependent on theoretical assumptions about the nature and causation of economic change, a special section of the Companion is devoted to the discussion of the most important theoretical approaches to the ancient Greek economy. Other sections treat key themes of the ancient Greek economy, such as taxation, money, markets and labour regimes, as well as network approaches that are currently at the centre of research on ancient economies. A chronologically narrow but geographically wide perspective is taken on the Greek economy, including the Hellenistic economies in Egypt and the Near East, but excluding Greek economies in the Western Mediterranean and those, in the Eastern Mediterranean, that continued to be dominated by Greek language and culture and therefore still might be termed Greek under the Roman Empire"--

Abstract

Im 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. etablierte Kaiser Theodosius das sogenannte Palastkaisertum und verbrachte einen großen Teil seiner Regierungszeit in Konstantinopel. Dieser wichtige Umbruch, der eine Tradition begründete, die in Ostrom bis ins 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr. andauern sollte, ist insofern erklärungsbedürftig, als sich die römischen Kaiser ab dem 3. Jahrhundert n. Chr. vor allem durch ihre Rolle als Verteidiger des Reiches an der Front legitimierten. Die vorliegende Studie analysiert, wie schon seit der Mitte des 4. Jahrhunderts Vorgänger von Theodosius eine Neudefinition des Kaisertums versuchten und auf welche Weise es erst Theodosius gelang, das Palastkaisertum als akzeptierte Form der Kaiserherrschaft zu etablieren.

Abstract

The Handbook of Ancient Afro-Eurasian Economies offers in three volumes the first comprehensive discussion of economic development in the empires of the Afro-Eurasian world region to elucidate the conditions under which large quantities of goods and people moved across continents and between empires. Volume 3: Frontier-Zone Processes and Transimperial Exchange analyzes frontier zones as particular landscapes of encounter, economic development, and transimperial network formation. The chapters offer problematizing approaches to frontier zone processes as part of and in between empires, with the goal of better understanding how and why goods and resources moved across the Afro-Eurasian region. Key frontiers in mountains and steppes, along coasts, rivers, and deserts are investigated in depth, demonstrating how local landscapes, politics, and pathways explain network practices and participation in long-distance trade. The chapters seek to retrieve local knowledge ignored in popular Silk Road models and to show the potential of frontier-zone research for understanding the Afro-Eurasian region as a connected space.
