Rome (Rise of the Republic) Via Labos Tier 2

A Regional Market Capital

Roma is strategically positioned across several hills at a major crossing of the River Tiber above its flood plain. Such positioning has proved to be a stimulant to the developments of our markets. The salt deposits at the river's mouth and the demand for metals and luxury goods are the main contributors. The fact that, under the current system, our troops are obliged to provide their own armour and weapons, maintains a healthy demand for new weapons and pieces of armour. The slave trade has also gained momentum, meaning that the resultant low or no-cost produce, such as leather, pottery and especially olives, are now major features of the average Roman marketplace as well. Along with the bartering and exchange of goods, bronze has established itself as a medium of exchange. As you might expect, Greek coins have also made an appearance, but such currencies are not yet of interest to us.
