ECONOMIC THOUGHT IN ANCIENT ROME

https://doi.org/10.32910/ep.70.1.5

Pregledni rad

Unlike ancient Greece, in ancient Rome there was no developed economic thought. Most of the economic issues of interest to the scholars were pertinent to the field of agriculture. Great achievements in the field of law have provided the starting point for the further development of economic thought and analysis in the ancient Rome. The paper analyzes some of the direct impacts of the Law of the Twelve Tables (Leges duodecim tabularum) on the economy, and analyzes the contributions of eight writers and scholars in the consideration of economic issues: Marcus Porcius Cato Maior, Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus, Marcus Terentius Varro, Lucius Junius Moderatus Columella, Titus Lucretius Carus, Marcus Tullius Cicero, and Lucius Annaeus Seneca.
