| Sumario: | This paper considers market activity at Constantinople during the golden age of the Byzantine Empire. The main source of this study has been Emperor Leo the Wise’s (886-912) The Eparch’s Book. A score of occupations and crafts as recorded in this unique document are analyzed, taking into account both the corporate and the professional aspects. Special interest is devoted to the government’s intervention politics in its effort to guarantee supplies and avoid inner tensions. This work also pays attention to the disposition of trade and craft activities along the town’s central axis, as well as in the many agoras and forums. |
