Description
Though underrepresented in evidence, slaves and ex-slaves were critically important members of Roman society. This class considers the ways that the institution of slavery and slaves themselves shaped Roman society, history, and culture. Topics of study include sources of slaves, the social attitudes and legal framework that shaped the experience of enslavement, family life, and manumission. Students taking this class at the 4000-level are given heavier or additional assignments.
