What’s really hilarious is the fact elite Romans despised the primitive capitalists amongst their midst, it’s almost like Roman society was defined by landed nobles who relied on slave labor to generate accumulation for the sake of status and luxury and not capital gains through the exploitation of a working class for the sake of reinvestment in productive assets
The debased money grubber was an archetype in Roman literature, and yet these dipshits still think Roman society was defined by capitalism lmao
Yeah. Publicani, usually cited as example of protocapitalist ventures, were bashed even by the people from aristocracy doing exactly the same thing, but personally by the office instead of equites forming an company.
Wait a second, is that some of the dreaded example of “The history of all hitherto existing human society is the history of class struggles.”? Oh oh no, we need immediately derail the line of thoughts into some romaboo nitpicking of legionnary armour details!
