Abstract

Pearl trade in Rome is attested in the early imperial period. For distribution in the capital was required extensive sales network able to extract these pearls from places like India, the Red Sea, etc. The sellers of pearls or margaritarii were responsible for the luxury trade. For a better understanding of these characters we have made a study of lapidary inscriptions concerning them.
