Hitelpiac és gazdasági élet az ókori Rómában

Cameron Hakins a University of Chicago oktatója, a római hitelpiacokról szóló előadását 2014 decemberében tartotta az Oriental Institute sorozatában. 

Angol nyelvű összefoglalója:

The nature of the ancient Roman economy ensured that there was always a strong demand for credit at all levels of the socio-economic spectrum. Individuals relied on credit not only to fund personal consumption, but also to secure access to business assets and to working capital. Loans extended by professional bankers and moneylenders satisfied some of this demand, but personal credit - whether offered by suppliers to other businessmen, or by retailers to their customers - remained vital to economic life in the Roman world.
