Plants, Politics and Empire in Ancient Rome
The ‘Many Faces’ of the Roman Economy
Villa
Roman villas were mansions located outside the urban perimeter, which included land (called either fundus or praedium ), and were provided with a luxurious residential part ( pars urbana ) and service quarters ( pars rustica ) with agricultural production facilities. While being for the most part working farms, villas were also the seat for the pursuit of a particular type of lifestyle by the elite ( otium ).
Ergasterion, ergastulum
The Greek term ergasterion refers primarily to workshops, both small and large, whereas the Latin ergastulum normally indicates the place where people condemned to forced labor are housed, the cell where slaves were confined for punishment, or the space where fettered agricultural slaves were locked up for the night.
Villas and Farms in the Mediterranean World
A Story of Land and Water
The chapter examines the exploitation of the sea, coastal lagoons, and lakes, particularly in respect to large- and medium-scale fishing and fish processing. The first part focuses on the mechanisms by which landowners, social elites, and collective entities such as sanctuaries situated in favourable geographic locations tried to secure the exploitation of natural resources. Case studies of disputes involving a town (Histria) and a sanctuary (Art…
The Roman Villa in the Mediterranean Basin
This volume offers a comprehensive survey of Roman villas in Italy and the Mediterranean provinces of the Roman Empire, from their origins to the collapse of the Empire. The architecture of villas could be humble or grand, and sometimes luxurious. Villas were most often farms where wine, olive oil, cereals, and manufactured goods, among other products, were produced. They were also venues for hospitality, conversation, and thinking on pagan, and …
Fish and Fishing in the Roman World
This article focuses on two aspects related to fish and fishing. It first discusses the social context for the consumption of preserved and fresh fish, showing that generally consumption of certain types of fresh fish conferred status, whereas consumption of preserved fish, being more affordable, was attested across social strata. The article then moves on to examine the organisation of the ‘fishing industry’, specifically the relationship betwee…

Villa
In Latin the word villa refers to a mansion located outside the urban perimeter, which included land (called either fundus or praedium ), and was provided with a residential part ( pars urbana ) and service quarters ( pars rustica ) with agricultural production facilities, such as presses for wine and olive oil, threshing floors, but also kilns for producing bricks and tiles if the estate had the appropriate natural resources.
Latifundia /large estates
Latifundia (from Lat. latus= large and fundus= estate) is a term that does not occur often in Latin sources; the majority of the texts concerned date to the first century CE .
Ergasterion, ergastulum
The Greek term ergasterion (plur. ergasteria ) and the Latin ergastulum are used with some flexibility in the ancient sources.
Land and landholding, Rome

Trajanic building projects on base-metal denominations and audience targeting
La monetazione imperiale è generalmente riconosciuta come uno dei mezzi usati dall'amministrazione centrale per diffondere messaggi ideologici specifici, anche se la misura in cui messaggi particolari potevano essere compresi dall'ampio spettro della società romana rimane oggetto di dibattito. Ancora più problematica resta la questione se specifici tipi monetali erano scelti in base alle differenti denominazioni (metalli preziosi rispetto a metal…

Drawing on documentary sources and archaeological evidence this book offers a socio-economic history of elite villas in Roman Central Italy and brings a new perspective to the debate on the slave-based villa system and the crisis of Italian villas in the imperial period.
Preserving cultural heritage and developing a modern city
This note reports on a paper presented at the American Institute of Archaeology 107 th Annual Meeting (Montreal January 2006).
