      abstract = {In Investment, Profit, and Tenancy: The Jurists and the  Roman Agrarian Economy Dennis P. Kehoe defines the economic  mentality of upper-class Romans by analyzing the  assumptions that Roman jurists in the Digest of Justinian  made about investment and profit in agriculture as they  addressed legal issues involving private property. In  particular the author analyzes the duties of guardians in  managing the property of their wards and the bequeathing of  agricultural property. He bases his analysis on Roman legal  sources, which offer a comprehensive picture of the  economic interests of upper-class Romans. Farm tenancy was  crucial to these interests and Kehoe carefully examines how  Roman landowners contended with the legal, social, and  economic institutions surrounding farm tenancy as they  pursued security from their agricultural investments.  Investment, Profit, and Tenancy will be of interest to  students of Roman history, particularly the legal, social,  and economic history of the Roman empire.},
