Abstract
Abstract:
This paper describes the early Republican productive economy by focusing on the relationship of debt to the dynamics of landholding and the labor supply. I argue that the conquest of Veii (396 B.C.) thinned Roman labor relative to landholding. The imbalance led to the continuation of debt relationships for the next century.
