Some remarks on economic history of Byzantine Sardis in the 5th century

Abstract

Supported by broader sighting at economic, social and other vital historic structures of Sardis in Early byzantine period, partly by digressions at relevant singularities of the contemporary urban order itself, the paper tries to suggest a new interpretation of economic and other circumstances which in 459. led to signing an agreement between ekdikos and builders of Sardis.
