  Roman Corinth: An Alternative Model for the
Classical City by Donald Engels
  English | May 29, 1990 | ISBN: 0226208702 | 248 Pages | PDF | 19 MB 
  
  In the second century A.D., Corinth was the largest city in Roman Greece. A center of learning, culture, and
commerce, it served as the capital of the senatorial province of Achaea and was the focus of apostle Paul's missionary
activity. Donald Engels's important revisionist study of this ancient urban area is at once a detailed history of the
Roman colony and a provocative socioeconomic analysis. With Corinth as an exemplar, Engels challenges the widely held
view that large classical cities were consumer cities, innocent of the market forces that shape modern economies.
Instead, he presents an alternative model—the "service city."
  
  Examining a wealth of archaelogical
and literary evidence in light of central place theory, and using sound statistical techniques, Engels reconstructs the
human geography of the Corinthia, including an estimate of the population. He shows that—given the amount of
cultivatable land—rents and taxes levied onthe countryside could not have supported a highly populated city like
Corinth. Neither could its inhabitants have supported themselves directly by farming.
  
  Rather, the city
constituted a thriving market for domestic, regional, and overseas raw materials, agricultural products, and
manufactured goods, at the same time satisfying the needs of those who plied the various land and sea routes that
converged there. Corinth provided key governmental and judicial services to the province of Achaea, and its religious
festivals, temples, and monuments attracted numerous visitors from all corners of the Roman world. In accounting for the
large portion of residents who participated in these various areas outside of the traditional consumer model, Engels
reveals the depth and sophistication of the economics of ancient cities.
  
  Roman Corinth is a much-needed
critique of the currently dominant approach of ancient urbanism. It will be of crucial interest to scholars and students
in classics, ancient history, and urban studies.
