i’m learning bout the economy of Pompeii and the debate surrounding it, but for some reason I just can’t wrap my head around the practical difference between them.

this is my first time posting here, so hope it’s formatted right! 🙂

In georgaphy, there are concepts called core and periphery. The core is generally wealthier and has more production while the periphery consumes and tends to be poorer.

Producer cities produce things. Consumer cities consume things.

A producer city creates things and has an economy based on what it sells.

The consumer city would have money coming in either from government taxes, military, or wealth made elsewhere.
