It catalogues stone epigraphs of independent professionals (thus excluding state workers, imperial slaves, freedmen and military personnel), comprising some 690 people, providing quantitative as well as qualitative analyses of the raw data. A glossary translating the occupational titles is also included. The book reveals a very lively work market, where specialisation responded to demand and brought social and economic status to the worker. The coherence of epigraphic habits and manifestations within a professional group, along with all the other existing clues for a rather unitary use of symbols, endorse once more the existence of a Roman provincial, commercial, middle class.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rada Varga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1789694647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789694642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Archaeopress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Rada Varga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943774716159,"sku":"9781789694642","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_15aafabd-a89c-49b3-aebb-64c1ffecdeb0.jpg?v=1681499991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/carving-a-professional-identity-rada-varga-9781789694642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
