Abstract
"Strike: Labor, Unions, and Resistance in the Roman Empire" by Sarah E. Bond explores the concept of strikes and labor organizations in the ancient Roman Empire. Bond uses the term 'strategic anachronism' to analyze the historical evidence of labor resistance and mobilization from 509 BC to AD 565. The book delves into the complexities of ancient labor movements, highlighting the challenges of interpreting sparse and partial sources. Bond's work sheds light on the existence of marginalized communities and their resistance against social injustices in the ancient world. [Extracted from the article]
