About This Book
"Baetica Felix builds a new model of Roman-provincial relations through a socio-economic history of the province from Julius Caesar to the end of the second century A.D. Describing and analyzing the impact of Roman rule on a core province, Evan Haley addresses two broad questions: what effect did Roman rule have on patterns of settlement and production in Baetica, and how did it contribute to wealth generation and social mobility?
His findings conclusively demonstrate that meeting the multiple demands of the Roman state, ranging from resources such as metals and foodstuffs to conformity with Roman administrative and legal norms, created a substantial freeborn and ex-slave "middle stratum" of the population that outnumbered both the super-rich elite and the destitute poor."--Jacket.
