I have already dealt with some of the more advanced technologies of antiquity in my paper on Machines, Power and the Ancient Economy in the Journal of Roman Studies 2002 1 . In this paper I want to examine some much more basic technologies, to show that the adoption – and loss – of these also had far-reaching economic consequences. I shall focus principally on the impact of certain building techniques that were widely used in the Roman period. Faced with a lack of statistics from the ancient world, historians of ancient economies are forced to seek proxy indicators of economic performance. Chief among these are pottery and coin finds, each with their own peculiar problems of interpretation. It is surprising, though, that the construction industry, so often used today as a barometer of the economic climate, is so little exploited for such ends by historians of the ancient world. After all, it is an industry which can be studied through standing remains and building inscriptions, and is a visible expression of both public and private capacity and willingness to spend considerable sums of money.
