As comparable to modern free markets, with differences in scale not quality? As controlled and dominated by the State? Or as a third way, in completely different terms, as free but regulated? In \u003ci\u003eTrade and Markets in Byzantium\u003c\/i\u003e seventeen scholars address these and related issues by reexamining and reinterpreting the material and textual record from Byzantium and its hinterland for local, regional, and interregional trade. Special emphasis is placed on local trade, which has been understudied. To comprehend the recovery of long-distance trade from its eighth-century nadir to the economic prosperity enjoyed in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, the authors analyze the variety and complexity of the exchange networks, the role of money as a measure of exchange, and the character of local markets. This collection of groundbreaking research will prove to be indispensable for anyone interested in economic history in antiquity and the medieval period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eCécile Morrisson is Director of Research Emerita at Centre national de la recherche scientifique, Paris, and Advisor for Byzantine Numismatics at Dumbarton Oaks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDemetra Bakirtzi is an archaeologist in the Greek Archaeological Service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndré Binggeli is a researcher at the National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in Paris.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRowan Dorin is a doctoral candidate at Harvard University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSauro Galechi is Professor of Medieval Archaeology at the University of Ca' Foscari of Venice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Haldon is Professor of Byzantine History and Hellenic Studies at Princeton University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohannes Koder is Emeritus Professor at the Institute for Byzantine and Neohellenic Studies at the University of Vienna.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAngeliki E.
