In a world where reliable information was scarce and economic insecurity loomed large, social structures and networks of trust were of paramount importance to the way work was provided and filled in. Taking its cue from New Institutional Economics, this book deals with the wide range of factors shaping work and labour in the cities of Roman Italy under the early empire, from families and familial structures, to labour collectives, slavery, education and apprenticeship. To illuminate the complexity of the market for labour, this monograph offers a new analysis of the occupational inscriptions and reliefs from Roman Italy, placing them in the wider context by means of documentary evidence like apprenticeship contracts, legal sources, and material remains. This synthesis therefore provides a comprehensive analysis of the ancient sources on work and labour in Roman urban society, leading to a novel interpretation of the market for work, and a fuller understanding of the daily lives of nonelite Romans. For some of them, work was indeed a source of pride, whereas for others it was merely a means to an end or a necessity of life."--Publisher description. 500 $a Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral)--Leiden University, 2017. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-347) and index. 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a Working class $z Italy $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Labor $z Italy $x History $y To 1500. 650 7 $a Economic history $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Labor $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00989798 650 7 $a Working class $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180418 651 0 $a Italy $x Economic conditions $y To 476. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Empire, 30 B.C.-284 A.D. 651 0 $a Rome $x History $y Empire, 284-476. 651 7 $a Italy $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 651 7 $a Rome (Empire) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204885 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Liverpool studies in ancient history ; $v 1. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219013136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A4960B69E3C11EE84E191EF36ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
