The Dignity of Labour

Autor Dr Iain Ferris
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 ian 2021
Numerous incidental illustrations of agricultural workers occur on Roman artworks, particularly mosaic pavements. More significantly, the names and trades of many individual working people, artisans, and professionals are known from inscriptions and funerary monuments in Rome and from across the empire. Indeed, the names and trades of over 1200 men and over 200 women are known from inscriptions in Rome alone. The most extraordinary individual funerary monuments for working people are the Tomb of Eurysaces the Baker that still stands at Porta Maggiore in Rome and the Tomb of the Haterii in the Vatican Museums, the latter a monument to a family that had made their fortune in the construction industry in the city. Less grand but equally informative are the dozens of other funerary monuments to people such as Bassilla the mime or actress from Aquileia, Longidienus the shipbuilder from Ravenna, and Vitalis the pork butcher from Rome. The study will encompass consideration of both written and archaeological sources, but particularly visual evidence in the form of sculptures, funerary monuments of various kinds, mosaics, and wall paintings.
