Summary
The administration and management of sea ports underthe Roman Empire remain a puzzling mystery. In afundamental paper, George Houston reached at leasttwo essential conclusions. Both are worth quoting:we are justified in concluding that necessary workin these ports – for example, building of and repairto breakwaters and docks, provision of storagefacilities, and regulation of commercial activities– was ordinarily accomplished through a combinationof Imperial subvention, local administration, andprivate initiative.
