- Notes
- The volume offers a historical overview of banking in antiquity, ranging from Mesopotamia—the birthplace of writing and accounting—to Republican and Imperial Rome, passing through the Hellenic world (Greece and Ptolemaic Egypt). Its aim is to trace the earliest evidence of money and financial transactions (already attested in the cuneiform tablets of the Sumerians) and to explore the gradual development of banking activity, from the Greek trápeza to the Roman mensa argentaria. The work draws on archaeological, epigraphic, and literary sources, and adopts an expository approach that seeks to combine historical narrative with the technical aspects of economics and law, within a multidisciplinary research framework.
