The fact that the Roman state heavily relied on these professional scribes in financial and legal administration entailed a unique position and status. By gathering and analysing the available source material on the Roman scribae, the book traces the history of Rome's public scribes from the early Republic to the Later Roman Empire. He tells the story of men of low social origin, who, by means of their specialised knowledge, find themselves at the heart of the Roman polity, in close proximity to the powerful and responsible for the written arcana of the state - a story of knowledge and power, corruption and contested social mobility"--Benjamin Hartmann, University of ZurichIncludes bibliographical references and indexScribes / RomeRome / Officials and employees|DG83.3KXP1689361220978-1-108-49396-3978-1-108-71374-0HT0206556006102antv780.h3332020112620210129148756501rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D148756501+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1086810 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1086810/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1086810
