This volume, featuring sixteen contributions from leading Roman
historians and archaeologists, sheds new light on approaches to the
economic history of urban craftsmen and traders in the Roman world,
with a particular emphasis on the imperial period. Combining a wide
range of research traditions from all over Europe and utilizing
evidence from Italy, the western provinces, and the Greek-speaking
east, this edited collection is divided into four parts. It first
considers the scholarly history of Roman crafts and trade in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, focusing on Germany and the
Anglo-Saxon world, and on Italy and France. Chapters discuss how
scholarly thinking about Roman craftsmen and traders was influenced
by historical and intellectual developments in the modern world,
and how different (national) research traditions followed different
trajectories throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The
second part highlights the economic strategies of craftsmen and
traders, examining strategies of long-distance traders and the
phenomenon of specialization, and presenting case studies of
leather-working and bread-baking. In the third part, the human
factor in urban crafts and trade-including the role of
apprenticeship, gender, freedmen, and professional associations-is
analysed, and the volume ends by exploring the position of crafts
in urban space, considering the evidence for artisanal clustering
in the archaeological and papyrological record, and providing case
studies of the development of commercial landscapes at Aquincum on
the Danube and at Sagalassos in Pisidia.
