The Orontes River has joined the Tiber, as noted by the Roman satirist Juvenal in a critique of immigration to the Empire's capital. Rome has long relied on immigrants to sustain its population. Some immigrants arrived voluntarily, seeking opportunities as craftsmen, soldiers, teachers, or intellectuals. Numerous others, however, were brought as slaves. What transpired after their arrival in Rome? Did they maintain connections with their homelands? Did they establish distinct communities within the city? This book is a comprehensive examination of Rome's foreign-born population. The author employs inscriptions and literature to delve into the experiences of newcomers to the capital. The findings are compared with the vibrant Roman stereotypes of various immigrant groups.
