Roman Law and Maritime Commerce

Overall, the volume represents an important resource for any scholar investigating Roman law, maritime exchange or the ancient economy more broadly. Even with the diverse range of contributions, the volume works well as a cohesive whole, and each chapter clearly contributes towards a common goal of bringing a more interdisciplinary approach to these topics. The importance of maritime commerce in the Roman world and the complexity of understanding it is emphasised effectively throughout, and convincing and important developments in specific cases are argued for. [...] The book achieves its stated goals effectively and represents an important and impressive contribution to the scholarship of multiple fields within classical studies. -- Andrew McLean, University of Edinburgh * The Classical Review *
