“…Meanwhile, we should emphasize that the analysis presented here is not conclusive: especially in Italy, the state of research is constantly improving, and refinements can be expected (e.g. Vaccaro forthcoming). Similarly, despite unique evidence such as firing lists and potters' stamps, we still await agreement on the specifics of sigillata production organization (Dannell ; Fülle 2000a; 2000b; Strobel ).…”

“…; Sforzini ). Especially in Etruria we now have evidence for rural production: in relation to a villa and other types of production activity such as tiles and bricks at Torrita di Siena (Pucci ), on a small‐scale artisanal site built on a former temple platform in the Tiber Valley at Scoppieto (Bergamini ; Bergamini and Gaggiotti ), and in the context of an artisanal settlement at Marzuolo (Vaccaro forthcoming).…”

“…). At the rural site of Marzuolo, too, some provisional evidence points to an experimental stage in sigillata production around 30/20–10 BC, while proper sigillata production is attested at least for the third quarter of the first century AD (Vaccaro forthcoming). Whether or not ideas, know‐how and techniques thus radiated from an urban centre like Arezzo to the countryside, these ideas had to be established in each centre instead of being transplanted as a ready‐made package of knowledge.…”

Scholarship generally places peasants on a spectrum of socio-economic independence and dependence. While opinions are shifting away from subsistence, self-sufficiency, and socio-political autarky as mainstays of the peasant condition, the conventional focus on hierarchical relations persists, leaving horizontal or ‘relational’ ones neglected. To address this imbalance, I first detail our need to deal with literary (self-) representations of rural non-elite life. I use Dio Chrysostom’s Euboean discourse to develop a non-exhaustive range of peer-level interactions including hospitality, reciprocity, and cooperative work. Archaeology can help unravel how these played out, but as site 9 from the Ager Lunensis shows, we need better evidence. Nevertheless, I offer tentative possibilities about veteran interactions and the dynamics between villa and small farm workers from site 154 from the Ager Capenas and Case Nuove from the Roman Peasant Project. I close by alluding to the potential of integrating horizontal social relations in broader historical narratives.

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 between fish-salting establishments and the fishermen who provided the fish. Although we have many literary, documentary, and archaeological sources for fish preservation and fishing techniques in classical antiquity, the fishermen engaged in large-scale fishing remain rather elusive. Keywords Fish consumption · Fish salting · Fishermen · Business organisation · SocietatesAn abundant scholarly literature focusing on the production and commercialisation of salted fish products in classical antiquity exists, for which we have ample archaeological evidence in the remains of fish-salting establishments and the amphorae used to commercialise the products.1 Within this literature, it is only more recently that scholars' attention has shifted to include also the study of ancient fishing techniques and fishing gear. In regard to the role of fish in the ancient diet-whether fresh or preserved-research has focused, on the one hand, on the specific socio-cultural context of fish-consumption, and on the other, on the use of scientific techniques such as isotope analysis to determine what role marine protein had in people 's diet (e.g., Purcell 1995;Craig et al. 2009).
