While favourable natural conditions, capital accumulation, technology and political stability all contributed, ultimately economic performance depended on the ability to mobilize, train and coordinate human work efforts. In Work, Labour, and Professions in the Roman World, the authors discuss new insights, ideas and interpretations on the role of labour and human resources in the Roman economy. They study the various ways in which work was mobilised and organised and how these processes were regulated. Work as a production factor, however, is not the exclusive focus of this volume. Throughout the chapters, the contributors also provide an analysis of work as a social and cultural phenomenon in ancient Rome"--Provided by publisher Work, labour, professions : what's in a name? / Koenraad Verboven and Christian Laes -- Sorting out labour in the Roman provinces : some reflections on labour and institutions in Asia Minor / Arjan Zuiderhoek -- Contracts, coercion, and the boundaries of the Roman artisanal firm / Cameron Hawkins -- Workers in the Roman imperial building industry / Seth G.
