Summary:

Philip Kay examines the economic change in Rome between the Second Punic War and the middle of the 1st century BC. He focuses on how the increased flow of bullion and expansion of the availability of credit resulted in real per capita economic growth in the Italian peninsula, radically changing the composition and scale of the Roman economy.
