The Economy of Roman Palestine Inferences
The Economy of Roman Palestine presents a sketch of the economy of the province of Judea-Palestina in the Roman era. The era Period is between AD70 to AD400. In this period a broad selection of primary rabbinic sources and a considerable volume of archaeological findings.
In rabbinic sources, the rabbis refer to a certain religious-social background as though it were real. Thus, for instance, the rabbis assume that the entire public observes Kashrut, keeps the Sabbath, and attends synagogue. These assumptions relate to matters that were important to the rabbis.
Regarding these matters, the rabbis’ writings reflect the customs only of those who were
accepted in the stratum of rabbis. Accordingly, one might expect that the background described in the texts applies to the society of the bet midrash (school) alone. This suggestion is also discussed below.
The period studied is characterized by demographic growth and corresponding economic development. The work describes the agricultural and agrarian structure of the province, trade between the province, the pattern of settlement, and other aspects.
Thus, most of the research dealing with the economy of the Roman Empire usually deals with cities(polis, pl. poleis) and with the upper classes. The Roman “village” or “rural sector” in research usually refers to farmsteads or villae of the rich. This is even the case regarding the papyri of Egypt which reflects the realities of the upper classes much more than those of the lower classes.
