In this episode, we talk to Dr. Peter Candy, Assistant Professor of Civil Law and Fellow of St. Catherine’s College at the University of Cambridge, about his book Ancient Maritime Loan Contracts (University of Michigan Press), which examines the commercial financing of the maritime trade in ancient Greece and Rome. It’s a period that contains the roots of modern shipping law, finance, insurance, and much more, and makes for a fascinating look at how private law operated in antiquity.
