I forget which Emperor it occurred under, I think it was Diocletian, but at some point Romans were forced to work the occupations which their ancestors did, which was really the beginning of feudalistic serfdom that dominated the Medieval Age. I'll have to do some research as to the particular time when these laws were enacted.
