在罗马世界的情况下，能源消耗作为一个整体只被略微调查过。本章重点研究罗马帝国早期的能源消费，特别是确定能源来源，量化能源的开发及其对增长潜力的制约。它致力于研究古代能源系统的动态，这是能源技术开发和可获得性方面的创新。附录将介绍罗马帝国能源消耗量化所遵循的程序，并讨论替代估计。罗马帝国包括许多南方地区，在工业化初期，这些地区的柴火消耗量肯定低于欧洲的地中海国家。电力和能源的变化是现代经济增长的基础。关键词：能源消耗；柴火；地中海国家；罗马帝国；风力发电
The energy consumption as a whole has been only marginally investigated in the case of the Roman world. This chapter focuses on energy consumption in the early Roman Empire; and, in particular, to identify the energy sources, to quantify their exploitation, and their constraints to the growth potential. It devotes to the dynamics of the ancient energy systems that are the innovations in the technical exploitation of energy and its availability. The Appendix will present the procedure followed in the quantification of energy consumption in the Roman Empire and discuss alternative estimates. The Roman Empire included many Southern regions, where the consumption of firewood was certainly lower than in the Mediterranean countries of Europe at the start of industrialisation. The combination of changes in power and energy was the basis of modern growth. Keywords:energy consumption; firewood; Mediterranean countries; Roman Empire; wind power
