AN ASSOCIATION OF FISHERMEN AND FISH DEALERS IN CARTHAGO NOVA: EXAMPLE OF SOCIAL ECONOMY?

Summary/Abstract: The relationship between associative phenomenon and the exploitation of fisheries resources on the Mediterranean coast in Ancient Rome is a fact. The historical references about the fishing tradition in our coast (not just at sea, but also in rivers and lakes) date back to Phonetician and Roman times. This demonstrates the importance of fishing activities, mainly dedicated to the own subsistence as well as to the production and the export of fish and salted fish to Rome or to other areas of the Roman Empire. The ways of regulating the access to the fishing resources are not widely known, but through some epigraphical sources – i.e. CIL II. 5929 – we can identify certain characteristics of this phenomenon and conclude that the associative form in ancient Rome has provided a special „social identity“ to the fishermen's associations.
