Wine was one of the main consumption goods in the Mediterranean during antiquity, and the average Roman adult male probably consumed between 0,5 - 1 litre of it per day. It is therefore clear that the production and trading of wine was essential for the Roman economy. This book demonstrates that wines from the Eastern Mediterranean and the Aegean region in particular, played a crucial part in wine commerce. Moreover, it sheds new light on economic dilemmas that have long puzzled scholars, such as growth and market integration during antiquity.Mnemosyne, Supplements ;435.Wine industryItalyHistoryTo 476Rome (Italy)CommerceMiddle EastHistoryTo 476Middle EastCommerceRome (Italy)HistoryTo 476Rome (Italy)AntiquitiesWine industryHistory338.4766320937Komar Paulina1354323MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827587003321Eastern wines on western tables3316728UNINA
