| Title |
From A for association to V for Vulanus: Craftsmen in the Roman Empire |
| Description |
The Roman elite, which continues to shape our view of history to this day, constituted only a small portion of the population. This exercise aims to provide insights into the lives and daily routines of the majority of free citizens, drawing on selected primary and secondary sources. As craftsmen, they organized themselves into professional associations (called collegia), which not only represented common interests and negotiated supply chains but also fulfilled religious functions: they ensured the worship of the patron god of the craft, arranged for the burial of their members, and supported their surviving relatives. The craftsmen were the backbone of the economy, but at the same time they had to be available as soldiers. Conflicts with state authorities were inevitable: uprisings led to negotiations and reforms, and ultimately to new legal regulations that sought to limit the influence of the craftsmen. Although women’s political agency was restricted, they played an essential role in everyday professional life.
Knowledge of ancient languages is not required.
