Dear list members,

What is Law?* *(in the context of Roman Trading Ports)
Commercial epigraphy reflects, I argue, the cultural and legal diversity governing trade and thereby provide an insight into the relation between the official law promoted by the state and unofficial systems employed by traders. It is in that way that law became visible, through the gradual extension of commercial procedures and their associated materials that established and extended their value in many areas. That said, inscriptions written in merchandise (e.g. in amphorae) indicate the procedures in which packaged goods were involved since the moment of purchase and until they arrived at its destination. As legal artefacts, they reflect a connection to Roman law but could travel throughout the Mediterranean, and in that sense, their existence or absence also reflect the different legal cultures present in the Roman Mediterranean. In the trading world of the Romans, many practices become intelligible as the commercial actors began to appreciate its usefulness, the values behind a practice, its limitations, and the meanings attached to it by different groups.

This is the sixth and final seminar in the series celebrating the work of Simon Keay.  The seminar takes place at 17.00 (UK time).  All are welcome - but you must register in advance - https://ics.sas.ac.uk/events (scroll down for the seminar listing). Zoom Links will be sent before each seminar.

All best,
John Pearce
