Excerpt from Compendium of the Law of Insurance: Comprising Marine Fire and Life Insurance But when we remember the great commerce of Tyre, Carthage, of Asia Minor, of Rhodes and Alex andria, it seems improbable that Greece and Rome were unacquainted with the system of Insurance. It seems first to have been introduced into Eng land by the Lombards, about the thirteenth century.
