Farmers and Agriculture in the Roman Economy by David B Hollander

This monograph uses literary, archaeological, and comparative evidence to examine how farmers - from smallholders to the owners of large estates -bought and sold goods and services, lent and borrowed money, and cooperated or competed with one another.

"The merit of this book is to propose a global vision, over a large period of time, of the economic behaviour of these almost "mute" people that the Roman peasants are for us today"

- Maëlys Blandenet, ENS de Lyon, France, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2019
