Roman fulling and other industries

[Caballo]

Great poster from the Oxford University Roman Economy project. The scale and the organisation of Roman industry was truly impressive and very modern- today in a lecture, they illustrated a wheat processing centre in North Africa with 16 watermills in two series of 8, powered by an aqueduct. In Tripolitania, 17 olive presses in a row- with economic growth made possible by strong state spending on public trade and a great increase in long distance trade.

Heres the poster
