About this ebook
Blood and Coin: The Dark Side of Money in Ancient Rome is a fascinating journey through the economic history of one of the most powerful empires the world has ever seen. From the early days of barter-based trade to the rise and fall of the denarius, this book explores the evolution of money and its impact on ancient Rome.
Part 1 takes us back to the birth of Rome and the simplicity of the early Roman economy. It explores the role of agriculture and trade and how barter-based exchange led to the introduction of coins in Rome. Chapter 3 delves into the creation of the denarius, the standard coin of ancient Rome, and the impact of its widespread use.
Part 2 covers the Republic era, where corruption among Roman officials, entertainment, and debt played a significant role in the economic collapse. The chapter on Bread and Circuses examines the impact of free food distribution and the rise of debt and bankruptcy. The Curse of Money chapter highlights the role of slavery in the economy and how it contributed to social inequality.
Part 3 takes us to the height of Roman power, the Empire era. It explores the financial abuses and corruption in the government and the rise of powerful families who used bribery and assassination for financial gain. Chapter 9 focuses on the decline of the economy, the debasement of the currency, and the impact of inflation leading to the collapse of the Roman Empire.
The Epilogue ties everything together, summarizing the book's key points and highlighting lessons we can learn from Rome's economic history. The reader will be left pondering how history repeats itself and how the lessons learned from ancient Rome's economic downfall can be applied to modern-day society.
Blood and Coin: The Dark Side of Money in Ancient Rome is a compelling read for anyone interested in ancient history, economics, or just a good story. It is the first book in a series of three that will take readers on a journey through the dark side of money in three great empires: Rome, Greece, and Persia.
