Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For decades, researchers in various disciplines have studied correlations between migration and social capital, namely, the impact of diversity on neighbour trust and community cohesion. Yet, so far, ancient historians have treated the topics of migration and social capital separately. The present article introduces the relevant empirical studies and social theories from other disciplines. It then applies findings from this modern research to Roman neighbourhoods. One outcome is a new perspective on the role of collegia in fostering or corroding trust and social capital in urban neighbourhoods: some associations can be understood as ‘bridging’ in that they generated intergroup contact and so social capital, while others (probably most) were a force of division in that they proliferated out-groups and fostered distrust among neighbours. The collegia of port societies and other diverse neighbourhoods such as Regio XIV Transtiberim are more likely to have enhanced social capital in their locales than are the associations of more homogeneous and inland societies.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
