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.
