David Lewis has added several more, bringing the total to over 200"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "This book is a history of ancient Greek and Roman professionals: doctors, seers, sculptors, teachers, musicians, actors, athletes and soldiers. These individuals were specialist workers deemed to possess rare skills, for which they had undergone a period of training. They operated in a competitive labour market in which proven expertise was a key commodity. Success in the highest regarded professions was often rewarded with a significant income and social status. Rivalries between competing practitioners could be fierce. Yet on other occasions, skilled workers co-operated in developing associations that were intended to facilitate and promote the work of professionals. The oldest collegial code of conduct, the Hippocratic Oath, a version of which is still taken by medical professionals today, was similarly the creation of a prominent ancient medical school. This collection of articles reveals the crucial role of occupation and skill in determining the identity and status of workers in antiquity" -- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Skilled labor $z Greece $x History $y To 146 B.C. 650 0 $a Skilled labor $z Rome $x History. 648 7 $a To 146 B.C. $2 fast 700 1 $a Stewart, Edmund, $e editor. 700 1 $a Harris, Edward Monroe, $e editor. 700 1 $a Lewis, David M., $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Stewart, Edmund, $t Skilled labour and professionalism in ancient greece and rome $d New York : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108878135 $w (DLC) 2020015733 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403012807.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FEF02AE03BA411EC87B0DC564EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
