We learned of a
CFP for a workshop on Roman maritime trade (via fasticongressuum)
The ancient Roman Empire utilized, promoted and
relied upon long-distance maritime trade in a scale unprecedented in the
ancient world. This led to the development of both trade networks that made
possible the growth of urban centres, water-related infrastructures and
economic specialization, but also a normative framework, which enabled trade
and commerce across political, linguistic and cultural boundaries. The purpose
of this workshop is to explore the emergence of the Roman system of maritime
trade both as a logistical and a normative enterprise. The technology of
transportation, from the ships to the ports and warehouses, developed in tandem
with the rules that governed that trade.
