About the Author
Willem M. Jongman is a distinguished historian of the ancient Mediterranean whose work explores the economic structures, social relationships, and everyday lives of Roman communities. With particular attention to evidence from Pompeii, he brings together archaeological, literary, and quantitative approaches to illuminate how ordinary people participated in systems of production, exchange, and consumption. His scholarship connects detailed local studies with broader questions about inequality, urban life, and the development of ancient economies. Jongman’s work is valued for making complex historical debates accessible while maintaining a rigorous foundation in classical sources and material evidence.
