To find out more about the ancient economy, check out these books from Amazon.com or from your local library:
Eyewitness: Money, by Joe Cribb (2000). Not the best in the series, but still a good introduction to exchange systems for kids.
The Roman Empire: Economy, Society and Culture, by Peter Garnsey and Richard Saller (1987). Two experts, but their writing is easy enough for high schoolers.
Rural
Economy and Country Life in the Medieval West, by Georges Duby (reprinted
1998). Translated from French. A path-breaking account of what it was
like to be a medieval peasant, though it can be hard to read.
