Tiivistelmä: | Greek and Roman economic stagnation and technological blockage have long been accepted as facts, rather than interpretations. This article uses new material evidence, reconsiderations of texts, and current theoretical approaches to offer a more dynamic picture of ancient economic and technological activity and to raise awareness of specialist literature. |
