Note: "People producing and trading everyday commodities played a defining role in Roman urban communities, socially, spatially and economically. The social and economic contexts in which crafts and trade took place, the patterns of investment related to them, and the levels of technological and economic sophistication on which craftsmen and traders operated thus are essential in understanding how Roman cities worked..." - The Oxford Roman Economy Project.
