Best from John Dec. 29, 1970" From midway through the second century B.C. until 400 A.D., the Bay of Naples was the center of fashion and cultivated leisure for the Roman aristocracy. Casual remarks in the letters of Cicero and random observations of Strabo, Statius, the younger Pliny, and Symmachus reveal that this coastal area of Campania was known for its villas and for its life of ease from the days of the late Republic. Mr. D;Arms, in a discerning social and cultural analysis, traces the developing stages of this era in history and its effects on Roman culture.

( John D'Arms explores here a question of central import...)
John D'Arms explores here a question of central importance for the social economic history of the Roman world: which sectors of society were actively engaged in trade? In the late Roman Republic and early Empire senators were prohibited by law from direct participation in seaborne commerce; trade was not considered a respectable pursuit. Yet large fortunes were amassed by men of rank through a variety of lucrative enterprises. Exploiting the evidence of literature, archaeology, and inscription, D'Arms constructs case histories which reveal how senators realized commercial profits by indirect involvement: freedmen, municipal notables, and "friends" often served as the equivalent of partners or agents of aristocrats with large holdings in land. In demonstrating a flexibility in upper-class attitudes toward commercial activity, he offers a study in the adaptation of a social system to economic realities.
