The bread makersthe social and professional lives of bakers in the Western Roman Empire /[electronic resource] :by Jared T. Benton. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xiii, 216 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction: Chaines Operatoires and the Making of Roman Bread -- 2. Baking as Cultural Heritage: Regional Variation in the Roman Production of Bread -- 3. Modes of Production: Bakeries as Factories and Workshops -- 4 Experiencing the Bakery: Training, Status, Labor, and Exploitation -- 5. Voluntary Associations and Collectivity: A View from the East and the West -- 6. Crafting an Image -- 7. Conclusion: The Question of the Roman Middle Class.

Bread was the staple of the ancient Mediterranean diet. 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.
