Abstract

This volume breaks new ground in approaching the Ancient Economy by bringing together documentary sources from Mesopotamia and the Greco-Roman world. Addressing textual corpora that have traditionally been studied separately, the collected papers overturn the conventional view of a fundamental divide between the economic institutions of these two regions. The premise is that, while controlling for differences, texts from either cultural setting can be brought to bear on the other and can shed light, through their use as proxy data, on such questions as economic mentalities and market developme

Abstract

Based on twenty years of intensive research Jursa presents a brick-like investigation and inventory of many economic facets of first millennium BC Mesopotamia. The study is based on more than 21,500 tablets of which copies or transliterations are available to the "Vienna Economic History of Babylonia project" can be assigned to an archive and hence normally also to a particular place of origin. The bulk of the material comes from Babylon, Borsippa, Nippur, Sippar and Uruk and bears witness of the movements of goods and people (chapter 2), the strategies of investment within local and interregional trade (chapter 3) and agriculture in the rural landscapes surrounding the cities (chapter 4) according to private as well as temple archives. Special attention is paid to the development of silver used as money (chapter 5). --- Highly recommended for CEOs (whether currently employed or unemployed). Extensive indices enable easy access to the wealth of information.

Abstract

Life at the Bottom of Babylonian Society is a study of the population dynamics, family structure, and legal status of publicly-controlled servile workers in Kassite Babylonia. It compares some of the demographic aspects proper to this group with other intensively studied past populations, such as Roman Egypt, Medieval Tuscany, and American slave plantations. It suggests that families, especially those headed by single mothers, acted as a counter measure against population reduction (flight and death) and as a means for the state to control this labor force. The work marks a step forward in the use of quantitative measures in conjunction with cuneiform sources to achieve a better understanding of the social and economic forces that affected ancient Near Eastern populations.
