The daily work grind is a routine that can be traced back centuries. People in ancient Rome got up, went to work and did it all over again the next day. But this routine is not the only thing workers from today and ancient Rome share. They also share concerns about new technology and a work-from-home lifestyle. Del Maticic teaches at Vassar College in New York and co-edited the book “Working Lives in Ancient Rome” with Jordan Rogers. Maticic speaks to Host Marco Werman.
