The most important of these is perhaps that some Mediterranean regions have similar isotope ranges, making it difficult to reconstruct migration patterns involving movements within or between these areas. On the other hand, as Prowse points out in her contribution, this ‘lack of resolution’ should not be allowed to obscure the fundamental fact that isotope analysis is an excellent tool for identifying immigrants among those individuals whose lives are not illuminated by any kind of literary or epigraphic evidence but solely by the chemical signatures of their skeletons.

Sources and Models Although any attempt to trace migration and mobility runs up against the limitations imposed by the surviving evidence and also against various methodological difficulties, the amount of textual evidence surviving from the first two centuries ce that can be used for this purpose is surprisingly abundant. Over the past decades, epigraphers and papyrologists have produced some valuable studies of regional mobility on the basis of documentary texts. 47 Several papers in this volume tap into the large reservoir of sources from the Roman world.

If the numerus clausus for the beneficiaries of the corn-dole established by Augustus in 2 bce33 was maintained afterwards, it is possible that the weight of the plebs frumentaria in the whole population declined as a result of the combined effects of the growth of the population and an increase in the number of temporary residents.
