What were some jobs in Ancient Babylonian?

Answer 1

Much the same as in any other ancient civilisation: brickmaker, bricklayer, brick-stamper (with the king's inscription, for palaces, temples and similar), basket-maker, potter (quite a diverse one, this), smith, goldsmith/silversmith, jeweller, baker, gardener, wine-maker, cook (especially for the royal kitchens), wheelwright, furniture-maker, boatman, boatbuilder, carpenter, horse-trainer, architect, engineer, exorcist (often doubling as doctor), charioteer, cavalryman, musician, servant, priest, bitumen-carter (bitumen was used as mortar), rope-maker, farmer (in the hinterland rather than the city), scribe, tax collector, overseer, herder (again in the countryside), weaver, and merchant.

This list is not necessarily exhaustive, but should be useful as a start.

Curiously enough, the one job that did not exist in ancient Babylon was that of prostitute. It was the custom that before a Babylonian lady could marry, she had to go to a public area of the city and offer herself to the first man who wanted her. (Some of unprepossessing appearance had to wait a very long time.) This made professional prostitution a very unrewarding enterprise, there being too much free competition.
