Ancient Economies

This YouTube channel features recordings from the seminar series "Ancient Economies: Economists and Scholars of Antiquity Engaging in Dialogue." The initiative was held at SAPIENZA-Università di Roma (Dipartimento SARAS) from October 2024 to February 2025, organized by Dr. Alessandro Piccolo under the supervision of Prof. Lorenzo Verderame and Prof. Paola Buzi. Its aim was to foster dialogue between economists and scholars of antiquity, around ten key themes of discussion, with the goal of deepening our understanding of the ancient world – and perhaps even shedding light on our contemporary one.
