This chapter discusses the definitions and characteristics of the economic processes and trends in the Roman Empire, and outlines the methods by which quantification of data in written and archaeological sources can lead to a better understanding of economic integration, growth, and decline in the period c.100 BC to AD 350. These are then further analyzed in the context of a number of economic institutions and practices, including economic policy, monetization, trade, markets, commerce, investment, industrial production, technology, specialization of the labour force, and education. It suggests how we can identify a series of indicators of trends, which may be different in different regions, that can yield an idea of how the Roman economy compares with earlier and later periods of the classical world and with other cultures and empires.

This study explores how cultural landscapes serve as dynamic interfaces between human societies and their environments, reflecting intricate interactions shaped by historical and societal changes. Cultural landscapes, embodying both tangible heritage (e.g., architecture, gardens, and urban spaces) and intangible heritage (e.g., traditions and practices), act as living archives that document the evolution of cultural identities and environmental care. Through the lens of historical analysis and case studies, including that of the legacy of the Roman Empire, this research examines the transformative impacts of political, economic, social, and cultural shifts on these landscapes. Methods include a comparative analysis of historical data and contemporary landscape assessments, used to understand how these spaces adapt to and reflect societal changes. The findings highlight the importance of preserving cultural landscapes for their educational and aesthetic value, ecological sustainability, and their role in maintaining historical continuity. The study underscores the need for integrating historical insights into contemporary landscape preservation and urban design to keep these spaces relevant for future generations. This research contributes to our understanding of the deep-seated connection between past civilizations and modern cultural identities through the stewardship of cultural landscapes.

“…T h e interrelationships among archaeological and historical data are much-discussed topics among archaeologists working on complex societies (e.g., Moreland 2006;M. E. Smith 1992b;Storey 1999). Several ofthe following case studies employ both types of data, using the insights of each as necessary for the problem at hand (e.g., Fletcher, Chapter I I; Stark and Chance, Chapter 9).…”
