About the event

What are we talking about when we discuss the Mediterranean economy? Many people focus on international shipping; but most economic activity – even today, never mind a millennium ago – is regional, and, above all, highly local. This lecture will explore the local, and the mixture of evidence – partly documentary, partly archaeological – which one can use to get a sense about how local economies worked, interacted and changed, and what was necessary for them to become more closely linked.

Professor Chris Wickham's lecture will be followed by a wine reception from 7pm - 8pm where recent books by Prof Bonnie Effros and Dr Robin Whelan will be launched.

This event is part of the Liverpool Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies Seminar Series.
