Inflation is a symptom, not a disease.

It arises out of a recognition that the basis of prior financial obligations on expected return was false.

Options are debt repudiation, inflation, debasement, or collapse.

No it doesn't. Besides the fundamental economic rules of supply and demand, there is absolutely nothing we can learn from looking at ancient Rome that is relevant to the modern world. And honestly, you look really foolish trying to draw a parallel between such a primitive society and anything post-industrial.
