"Aristocratic model, productive sectors and constraints of social representation"

The rich epigraphic heritage of the city of Rome, and of other cities of the Latin West, allows us to examine the paths of self-representation, in life and in death, of the different, stratified, heterogeneous components of a multiform urban society. In the universe of production workers, different in origin, age, category and social weight, illustrates by means of latin inscriptions the attraction of the aristocratic model, but also eccentric forms of exaltation of subordinate roles. A world suspended between dominant thought and eccentricity.
