"The World of the Fullo takes a detailed look at the fullers, craftsmen who dealt
with high-quality garments, of Roman Italy. Analyzing the social and economic worlds
in which the fullers lived and worked, it tells the story of their economic circumstances,
the way they organized their workshops, the places where they worked in the city,
and their everyday lives on the shop floor and beyond. Through focusing on the lower
segments of society, Flohr uses everyday work as the major organizing principle of
the narrative: the volume discusses the decisions taken by those responsible for the
organization of work, and how these decisions subsequently had an impact on the social
lives of people carrying out the work. It emphasizes how socio-economic differences
between cities resulted in fundamentally different working lives for many of their
people, and that not only were economic activities shaped by Roman society, they in
turn played a key role in shaping it. Using an in-depth and qualitative analysis of
material remains related to economic activities, with a combined study of epigraphic
and literary records, this volume portrays an insightful view of the socio-economic
history of urban communities in the Roman world."--Publisher's website
