Would love to see this adjusted for inflation in 2025 usd
The famous Roman $.
Also a frequent repost.
What’s today’s Sesterce to Euro rate anyway?
Been to Egypt. Lads over there are earning essentially all their money from rich tourists from Rome, who all go to see those damn pyramids. Like, they aren’t even that good – just a bunch of pointless big rock piles. Our parthenon is much better. Hell, damn library of Alexandria is more entertaining than that, despite the books being some nerd shill.
Make Egypt great again! MEGA
How could they possibly know this?
Italy stronk 💪
What is the source ? I thought that kind of data was hard to obtain after 2000 years, so I am surprised by the amount of details and wonder how accurate it is.
Although it is interesting to see that the Eastern part of the Empire was so much richer than the rest (except for Italy of course). It probably explains why it survived as the Byzantine Empire when the rest collapsed.
Even the photo quality is from the Roman Empire
For a second i thought this is a r/mapporncirclejerk.
Did the Romans not care about their closest provinces being so poor? You’d think being close to such a huge empire’s capital would mean youd grow economically pretty fast
How time flies.
and so the poorest of them invented the stock market .. interesting
Make Italy Great Again
This is one of those things that looks right but has to be wrong the more you think about it.
What would you even compare the prices to – breas, sandals, love services? All those things must have had different prices in the empire depending on where you are.
Dang, so Egypt had it second best?
Benelux areas being the Belarus of the Romans
Sorry but this map is 2011 years out of date /s
As a history buff, I’ve seen this map probably 50 by now and the one thing that annoys me more than anything is that I cannot for the life of me find the source of this map. Where does it come from? What data-points is it using? What context is the map used for? Someone please help me find the original source!
I **N E E D** IT!
So that’s why Slovenia’s real estate is so expensive. I get it now.
