Abstract: Abstract Markets were an incredible innovation. So robust and efficient, they were also versatile, adapting to new trade routes on land and over water, and accommodating new currencies and other mediums of exchange. But the essential role of the marketplace, as a location to exchange goods and services for a common currency, has remained unchanged, up to the Renaissance.
