520 _aThis book sheds new light on labor and laboring in the Roman world. It starts with the individual laborer and works up, emphasizing their agency in navigating, transforming, and transcending the systems and structures around them. Taking advantage of the broad applicability of notions of work and labor to human lives at every rung of Roman society, the volume also offers numerous overlapping frameworks for thinking comparatively between many different kinds of work, whether in agriculture, craft, trade, politics, art, or literature. The book is organized around the ‘typical’ work-life experience of the modern 9-to-5 and provides a means of thinking in a rigorous way about how the working lives of scholars of Rome are caught up in ancient discourse and practices. Del A. Maticic received his PhD in Classics from NYU, USA and is currently the Blegen Research Fellow at Vassar College. His research concerns Roman literature and culture, with a special focus on problems of nature, agency, and materiality. Jordan Rogers received his Ph.D. in Ancient History from the University of Pennsylvania, USA, and is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of History at North Carolina State University. His research concerns Roman social and cultural history, especially the sociology of small communities in urban environments.
