Abstract
The following article intends to present considerations concerning the social function of indebtedness, as was used in the Late Republic by Roman dominant elites to perpetuate their control over the Ancient Mediterranean. We seek to demonstrate that “financial intermediation” was an apparatus conveyed by members of the roman elites to “legitimize” their political and financial use of indebtedness which we comprehend as social domination, that is, the usage of cultural – ideological – elements and of violence to perpetuate their control over that social formation.
