The book is divided into two main sections: the first part examines the role of colleges in Roman society, while the second part focuses on the lives of the plebeians, or the common people. In the first section, Dill provides a detailed analysis of the various colleges that existed in ancient Rome, including the priestly colleges, the collegia fabrorum (guilds of craftsmen), and the collegia sodalicia (social clubs). He examines the functions and responsibilities of each college, as well as their relationship to the Roman state and to each other. In the second section, Dill explores the daily lives of the plebeians, who made up the majority of the Roman population.
