摘要

在回顾了“套利”一词的词源和现代用法后，本文探讨了历史背景与古代套利活动的可能实例的相关性。考虑了在受希腊影响的地区使用估价过高的货币可能产生的“套利”类型。与罗马文明的比较揭示了社会态度和法律制度与执行套利交易能力的相关性。特别关注的是穿越罗马边境到印度的套利可能性以及帝国时期贬值的影响。认识到现代早期之前的资料来源很少，因此对可用于推断古代套利活动的钱币学、金石学和文学证据进行了评估。

Origins of arbitrage

Following a review of the etymology and modern usage of the term ‘arbitrage’, this article explores the relevance of historical context to possible instances of ancient arbitrage activity. Types of possible ‘arbitrage’ associated with the use of overvalued coinage in regions of Greek influence are considered. Comparison with Roman civilization reveals the relevance of social attitudes and legal institutions to the ability to execute arbitrage trades. Specific attention is given to the possibility of arbitrage across the Roman frontier to India and the impact of debasements during the imperial period. Recognizing that sources prior to early modern times are scant, numismatic, epigraphic and literary evidence that is available to make inferences about ancient arbitrage activity is assessed.

期刊介绍： Financial History Review is the international forum for all scholars with interests in the development of banking, finance, and monetary matters. Its editors deliberately seek to embrace the broadest approach to publishing research findings within this growing historical specialism. Articles address all aspects of financial and monetary history, including technical and theoretical approaches, those derived from cultural and social perspectives and the interrelations between politics and finance. These presentations of current research are complemented by somewhat shorter pieces, specifically conceived as aids to research. Each issue contains a substantial review section, and every complete volume contains an annual bibliography.
