Produktinformationen zu „Plautus and Roman Slavery (ePub)“
This book studies a crucial phase in the history of Roman slavery,
beginning with the transition to chattel slavery in the third
century bce and ending with antiquity's first large-scale
slave rebellion in the 130s bce. Slavery is a relationship
of power, and to study slavery - and not simply masters or
slaves - we need to see the interactions of individuals who
speak to each other, a rare kind of evidence from the ancient
world.
Plautus' comedies could be our most reliable source for
reconstructing the lives of slaves in ancient Rome. By reading
literature alongside the historical record, we can conjure a
thickly contextualized picture of slavery in the late third and
early second centuries bce, the earliest period for which we have
such evidence.
The book discusses how slaves were captured and sold; their
treatment by the master and the community; the growth of the
conception of the slave as "other than human," and as
chattel; and the problem of freedom for both slaves and society.
