The World of the 'Fullo' takes a detailed look at the fullers,
craftsmen who dealt with high-quality garments, of Roman Italy.
Analyzing the social and economic worlds in which the fullers lived
and worked, it tells the story of their economic circumstances, the
way they organized their workshops, the places where they worked in
the city, and their everyday lives on the shop floor and beyond.
Through focusing on the lower segments of society, Flohr uses
everyday work as the major organizing principle of the narrative:
the volume discusses the decisions taken by those responsible for
the organization of work, and how these decisions subsequently had
an impact on the social lives of people carrying out the work. It
emphasizes how socio-economic differences between cities resulted
in fundamentally different working lives for many of their people,
and that not only were economic activities shaped by Roman society,
they in turn played a key role in shaping it. Using an in-depth and
qualitative analysis of material remains related to economic
activities, with a combined study of epigraphic and literary
records, this volume portrays an insightful view of the
socio-economic history of urban communities in the Roman world.
