Finding Time to Write: Literary Amicitia and the Economy of Time in Flavian Rome explores the role of discrete minutes and hours of daily time in the relationships between poets and patrons in the Flavian era. In the Flavian period, writers identify their daily time as an additional resource to be traded among themselves and their patrons. The Flavian poet spends time each day visiting and writing for his patrons, and he openly expects to be compensated for all of the time he invests in patronal relationships. The first chapter investigates the origins, structure, and evolving perception of the social institution of Roman patronage in order to provide a foundation for contrasting the expressed Flavian understanding of patronage to the way it is perceived and discussed in other time periods. Flavian poets and their patrons increasingly admit that an economic motive underlies all of their interactions with one another. Rather than veil the economic basis of their relationships, Flavian poets and patrons talk candidly about the material profit they hope to make from patronage. The second chapter further investigates the economic climate of Flavian Rome, demonstrating that a pervasive market mentality encourages Flavian writers to be frank about their economic expectations. The third chapter builds upon my research concerning Roman patronage and the Flavian economy to examine the specific role of moments of daily time as notional commodities in economic exchanges between Flavian poets and their patrons. Each moment of a poet or patron's time -- even the briefest of instances -- can be assigned an objective, or even a monetary, value. Contemporary poets portray Flavians considering how to make the most profitable use of their daily time, just as they would with any other important resource. The fourth and final chapter shows how awareness of time's objective value and its limited availability encourages economically-minded Flavian writers to compose shorter pieces, like Martial's Epigrams, and to tout the virtues of their work as a time saver, not only for themselves, but also for busy patrons struggling to find time to read.
