Instructomania presents The Economy of Ancient Rome.
00:00:01
This video will detail which natural resources were available to ancient Romans, the type
00:00:05
of goods ancient Romans produced, with whom products were traded, and the methods of transportation
00:00:11
used to trade.
00:00:17
The word economy through a historian's lens means how a civilization makes money through
00:00:19
the buying and selling of goods and services.
00:00:25
Some examples may include utilizing resources and trade routes, producing agriculture, and
00:00:28
manufacturing products in order to make money.
00:00:34
What natural resources were available and which products were made by ancient Romans?
00:00:38
The ancient Romans lived on the Italian peninsula, also referred to as the Apennine Peninsula
00:00:44
of modern Italy.
00:00:50
Like its neighbor Greece, Rome had a limited amount of flat, farmable land, due to several
00:00:52
mountain ranges running through it.
00:00:58
The Romans adapted by raising animals that needed little land to survive like sheep,
00:01:00
goats, and pigs.
00:01:06
They also planted crops that needed little water such as barley, wheat, olive trees,
00:01:07
grapes, and citrus fruits.
00:01:14
The Tiber River provided most of Rome's fresh water for crop irrigation.
00:01:16
Ancient Roman artisans created clay jars and wool cloth.
00:01:21
Technological advancements such as iron farming tools eventually helped them farm more efficiently
00:01:26
and their population grew as a result.
00:01:32
Local trade increased when ancient Romans constructed roads of long-lasting materials
00:01:36
to withstand traffic and exposure to weather.
00:01:41
Who did ancient Romans trade with and in what ways were goods transported?
00:01:45
A surplus of crops such as grains and oils enabled the Roman population to grow.
00:01:50
The Tiber River created a natural fjord, or deep waterway, to the city of Rome, offering
00:01:56
easy access for sea trade.
00:02:02
Other Roman cities such as Alexandria and Antioch also had major seaports.
00:02:05
Roman sea traders traveled to Greece, Spain, northern Africa, India, and kingdoms of Asia.
00:02:12
They often navigated the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, since shipping was usually cheaper
00:02:18
than sending products on the land route of the Silk Road.
00:02:24
Roman merchants swapped meats, vegetables, cloth, sandals, and pottery for foreign products
00:02:28
such as precious metals, marble, silk, and spices from India.
00:02:35
Let's play Track the Trade Goods.
00:02:40
Can you track the product on a map?
00:02:43
In this game, there will be three products departing at once from different areas to
00:02:45
different destinations.
00:02:50
In this first round, you will track the lemons as they travel on the map.
00:02:52
There will be other products that may distract you, but keep your eyes on the lemons.
00:02:56
Watch the product closely as it travels on the map.
00:03:02
So, where did the lemons end up?
00:03:12
Was it Rome, Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India?
00:03:15
That's right.
00:03:20
The lemons ended up in Mesopotamia.
00:03:20
Let's play again.
00:03:23
This time you will track the pottery.
00:03:25
Where did the pottery end up?
00:03:37
Was it Rome, Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India?
00:03:38
That's right.
00:03:43
It ended up in Egypt.
00:03:44
Let's play one last time.
00:03:46
This time you will track the olive oil.
00:03:48
Where did the olives end up?
00:04:01
Was it Rome, Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, or India?
00:04:02
That's right.
00:04:07
it ended up in India. As you can see from the game, making money motivated ancient Romans to
00:04:08
grow crops, make products, and travel vast lands to trade. Consider this. In what ways does making
00:04:14
money motivate businesses in your community? Be prepared to support your answer with recent
