Summary/Abstract: The article endeavours to introduce certain basic aspects of the position of a dependent labourer in the Roman world. Such introduction involves information on the systemisation of the relevant employment contract (the locatio conductio operarum) within the framework of Roman obligations, as well as its distinction from similar contracts having identical roots, i.e., the lease of an object (the locatio conductio rei) and the contract for work (the locatio conductio operis). In addition, a brief description of the values respected by the Romans must be included as well, as the behaviour of the Roman society establishes a contextual environment for the limited utilisation of the employment contract.
