Summary
Our knowledge of the Roman economy in the fifth century BC is still limited by the scarcity of archaeological contexts compared to the previous century and by the lack of a precise typology of fifth-century potteries. As for the sixth century BC, we have a very limited number of funerary contexts probably because of the effect of funerary laws against luxury burials, but published settlement contexts dating back to the fifth century (and above all to the second half of the century), which could highlight the material culture of this period, are also few in number.
