A comparison between the prices of camelids expressed in denarii in the Edict promulgated by Diocletian in 301 A.D. and those calculated in solidi in a papyrus from Nessana (Negev desert south-west), datable between 575 and 625 A.D., allows us to clearly grasp an inflationary trend over a period of about three centuries, which originated in Constantinian monetary policy and still produced its effects in 7th century A.D. Palestine.

Abstract

A comparison between the prices of camelids expressed in denarii in the Edict promulgated by Diocletian in 301 A.D. and those calculated in solidi in a papyrus from Nessana (Negev desert south-west), datable between 575 and 625 A.D., allows us to clearly grasp an inflationary trend over a period of about three centuries, which originated in Constantinian monetary policy and still produced its effects in 7th century A.D. Palestine.
