Do historians believe Diocletion's price caps were enforced? Wouldn't a black market have popped up immediately given the underlying inflation driving Diocletion's attempt to crack down on prices rising?

I've just started your latest book (thank you for putting it in KU). You had me at the Ye Olden Tyme chapter descriptions, further with the Jethro Tull reference in the preface, but I've been all in since I got to the snarky parts with grown up language.

I hope this will prevent me from being thrown in the TIber.
