Synopsis

Long before factories, work organized households, fields, workshops, ports, mines, and armies. This history explores labor across the ancient world through the tasks that sustained cities and empires. Farmers, artisans, enslaved people, traders, and builders appear not as background figures but as makers of economic and social life. Their work reveals how status, law, skill, and coercion shaped daily survival.
