It was present in the meals of emperors and on the tables of the poorest households. In many instances, a loaf of bread probably constituted an entire meal. As such, bread was both something that unified society and a milieu through which social and ethnic divisions played out. Similarly, bakers were not a monolithic demographic. They served both the rich and the poor, but some bakers clearly operated within regional traditions. Some lived in big cities and others lived in small towns. Some bakers made flat breads and others made leavened loaves. Some made coarse brown loaves and others specialized in fancier white breads. This book offers new methods and new ways of framing bread production in the Roman world to reveal the nuances of an industry that fed an empire. Inscriptions, Roman law, and material remains of Roman-period bakeries are combined to expose the cultural context of bread making, the economic context of commercial baking, the social hierarchy within the workforces of bakeries, and the socio-economic strategies of Roman bakers. 000959611 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on February 04, 2021). 000959611 650_0 $$aBread$$xEconomic aspects$$zRome. 000959611 650_0 $$aBakeries$$xEconomic aspects$$zRome. 000959611 650_0 $$aBakers$$zRome$$xSocial life and customs. 000959611 650_0 $$aBread$$xSocial aspects$$zRome. 000959611 651_0 $$aRome$$xHistory$$yEmpire, 284-476. 000959611 655_0 $$aElectronic books 000959611 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3030466035$$z9783030466039$$w(OCoLC)1147280501 000959611 852__ $$bebk 000959611 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-46604-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000959611 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:959611$$pGLOBAL_SET 000959611 980__ $$aEBOOK 000959611 980__ $$aBIB 000959611 982__ $$aEbook 000959611 983__ $$aOnline 000959611 994__ $$a92$$bISE
