Reviews
"In this first-rate study, historian Bond makes the case that organized labor was a powerful force in the ancient world. . . . A sterling example of historical revisionism, this foregrounds the human-level struggles at stake in the ancient world."-- Publishers Weekly "Fresh and fascinating, this book combines exceedingly meticulous history with audacious 'strategic anachronism,' e.g., Roman Ephesus as a 'union town.' This ancient labor history's investigation of the meanings of solidarity in ancient Rome is rollickingly entertaining."--Nell Irvin Painter, author of The History of White People "Sarah Bond sheds refreshing new light on Roman history, revealing the role of collective bargaining, boycotts, strikes, and riots in the saga of the city and its empire. A passionate argument for the value, dignity, and radicalism of organized labor, then and now."--Josephine Quinn, author of How the World Made the West: A 4,000 Year History "We tend to think of strikes, unions, and industrial action as an entirely modern phenomenon. This thoroughly convincing book is especially welcome in our era of the gig economy and quiet quitting and the extreme dominance of capital over labor."--Michael Kulikowski, author of The Tragedy of Empire "A journey 'from below' throughout the Roman world, from the Early Kings to Early Byzantium. In a well-informed, highly readable synthesis, Sarah E. Bond covers the manifold aspects of associative bodies."--Giusto Traina, Sorbonne Université "In this carefully researched and humane study, Bond excavates a lost history of collective labor politics in ancient Rome, revealing that everyday workers and their associations were as important as emperors and armies to the making of the Roman world."--Carlos F. Noreña, author of Imperial Ideals in the Roman West "In this groundbreaking and indispensable work, Sarah Bond presents a detailed survey of ancient Roman labor from the earliest days of Rome through to Late Antiquity. She offers intriguing new windows onto gender, enslavement, religion, and a range of other aspects of daily life in ancient Rome that continue to resonate today."--Jane Draycott, author of Cleopatra's Daughter, "We tend to think of strikes, unions, and industrial action as an entirely modern phenomenon. This thoroughly convincing book is especially welcome in our era of the gig economy and quiet quitting and the extreme dominance of capital over labor."--Michael Kulikowski, author of The Tragedy of Empire "Fresh and fascinating, this book combines exceedingly meticulous history with audacious 'strategic anachronism,' e.g., Roman Ephesus as a 'union town.'

Bond shows how professional and trade associations empowered bakers, gladiators, charioteers, and the like to wield their leverage. . . . She connects their struggles to contemporary union efforts, emphasizing the ways in which, from antiquity to the present, solidarity among workers has persisted."-- New Yorker , "Best Books We Read This Week" "In this first-rate study, historian Bond makes the case that organized labor was a powerful force in the ancient world. . . .

Synopsis
Historian Sarah E. Bond retells the traditional story of Ancient Rome, revealing how groups of ancient workers unified, connected, and protested as they helped build an empire From plebeians refusing to join the Roman army to bakers withholding bread, this is the first book to explore how Roman workers used strikes, boycotts, riots, and rebellion to get their voices--and their labor--acknowledged. Sarah E. Bond explores Ancient Rome from a new angle to show that the history of labor conflicts and collective action goes back thousands of years, uncovering a world far more similar to our own than we realize. Workers often turned to their associations for solidarity and shared identity in the ancient world. Some of these groups even negotiated contracts, wages, and work conditions in a manner similar to modern labor unions. As the world begins to consider the value--and indeed the necessity--of unionization to protect workers, this book demonstrates that we can learn valuable lessons from ancient laborers and from attempts by the Roman government to limit their freedom., Historian Sarah E. Bond retells the traditional story of Ancient Rome, revealing how groups of ancient workers unified, connected, and protested as they helped build an empire
