Best Answer

The emperor Diocletian issued the Edict of Maximum Prices in 310.

The price cap on most goods and services was based on the assumption that inflation was caused by the greed of merchants. This measure was short lived. The price levels were empire-wide and ignored regional variations in costs. They were poorly enforced and they were resisted. Goods were sold in the back market. Diocletian had to abandon this measure.
