Note 30a — III. SOME POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS COMMON TO THE ROMANS AND TO MODERN PEOPLES

This statement does not apply to Asia Minor where we do know of industrial strikes in Roman times at Ephesus, Pergamum, Miletus, and Sardis. That of the bakers at Ephesus (Kern, Die Inschriften von Magnesia, no. 114, an inscription which we now know is from Ephesus) took place in the second century A.D. The other strikes are those of builders, one in the second century A.D. at Miletus on the Roman theatre (Sitz. Berl. Ak. 1904, p. 83); for Pergamum, cf. Athen. Mitt. XXIV, 1899, p. 199 (also second cent.); for Sardis C.I.G. 3647. An article by W. H. Buckler on Labor Disputes in the Province of Asia which will soon appear in Anatolian Studies in Honor of Sir W. M. Ramsay, Manchester, 1923, discusses this question. [D. M. R.]
