Way, way, WAY back when
Take a step back to 3,000 BC in ancient China. Hard to picture, right? Here we see merchants playing a primitive form of ‘insurance roulette’ by spreading their goods across different ships to minimise the risk of losing all their valuables in a shipwreck. Clever folks, these ancient merchants!
The Romans… Making insurance cool
Jump to ancient Rome, where ‘burial clubs’ were trending. These were the forerunners of life insurance, where Romans pooled resources to fund funerals and support grieving families. Bet you didn’t expect the Romans to be so darn thoughtful!
Knights, merchants and… Insurance
The Middle Ages, a time of knights, castles, and… Insurance policies? You betcha! Insurance took a giant leap forward thanks to merchants and bankers who formalised marine insurance. Talk about medieval innovation!
Insurance: Now brewing at your local coffee shop
In the seventeenth century, insurance found a cool hangout… Edward Lloyd’s coffee house, which later transformed into the iconic Lloyd’s of London. Who knew grabbing a cup of joe could lead to global insurance domination?
Here comes the insurance revolution
Fast forward to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when the industrial revolution powered up the world, and insurance companies stepped into the spotlight. It’s at this point that insurance really began to rock and roll!
