概要
This episode examines Merav Haklai’s Money in Imperial Rome: Legal Diversity and Systemic Complexity, focusing on her central claim that money in the Roman world was not merely coinage but a legal and cognitive framework shaped by juristic reasoning. Rather than treating the Roman economy as either fully “modern” or socially embedded and pre-market, Haklai shows how Roman private law actively structured monetized exchange through precise doctrinal distinctions.
The discussion explores how jurists defined pretium and merces, insisting on money as the proper price in sale while negotiating more flexible forms of remuneration in other contracts. These debates reveal that monetization was not assumed but constructed through legal categories. A comparative perspective with Jewish legal sources highlights the coexistence of multiple normative systems within the empire, reinforcing the book’s broader argument: Roman monetary order functioned as a complex, plural legal ecosystem in which diversity and standardization operated together.
