Summary/Abstract: The current article is a catalogue-centered quantitative research concerning the occupational inscriptions of the Roman Latin West. The focus of the investigation were independent professionals – not linked directly to the state administration or the army – who have their profession explicitly recorded on a stone monument. The catalogue lists 691 individuals and links towards their detailed personal files; while exhaustiveness is a goal hard to achieve when covering a vast geographical area, we have tries to collect all attestations and are convinced we succeeded in rendering the huge majority of professionals epigraphically attested. The analysis is quantitative in nature and meant to contextualize the raw data of the catalogue
