Cicero Credit Crunch

Hey all!

A friend shared this article with me, and I thought I would pass it along. He's an economist, which explains why he even stumbled across the this article to begin with. The article discusses how Cicero's letters helped economic historians track the first credit crisis in the Late Republic.

I was reminded about it with the talk of money today concerning paper topics. May it prove to be helpful!
