Sherwin-White Roman Citizenship. In the form of legal marriage called conubium, the father's legal status determined the child's, but conubium required that both spouses be free citizens.
A soldier, for instance, was banned from marrying while in service, but if he formed a long-term union with a local woman while stationed in the provinces, he could marry her legally after he was discharged, and any children they had would be considered the offspring of citizens—in effect granting the woman retroactive citizenship.

This situation would not be favorable to the bulk of the farming population, which would find itself in increasing competition for land; as population increased, real wages would decline, and the carrying capacity of the land would eventually be exhausted. One basic issue is whether the Roman Empire ever escaped Malthusian constraints on the economy, with its population enjoying an improving standard of living resulting from increases in the productivity of workers.
In terms of periodization, scholars tend to divide Roman economic history into three major periods: In the Republic the most important economic changes were those fueled by the increasing wealth of the aristocracy and the growth of the city of Rome. Under the principate it is possible to consider economic developments not only in Roman Italy but also in the provinces as well as to analyze how the Roman Empire functioned as an economic system. The economy of the later empire was characterized by increasing intervention on the part of the state, largely to assure itself of tax revenues, but there is much continuity between the economy of the principate and that of the 4th century.
Scholarship on the Roman economy must be understood as part of a broader debate about the nature of the ancient economy. The terms of this debate have been largely set by M. Finley see Finley , who differentiated ancient economies from modern ones and argued that economic activity in the ancient world was largely influenced by social values and practices. Horden and Purcell sets the Roman and Greek economies in a broader perspective of Mediterranean history. Duncan-Jones is a pioneering work in drawing conclusions about the Roman economy from the few quantitative data available to modern historians.
Duncan-Jones applies much the same methodology to ask additional questions about the Roman economy, such as the distribution of land. Bowman and Wilson is the first in a series of studies using quantifiable evidence to come to a better understanding of basic issues in the Roman economy, such as wages and standards of living.
