The empires of Greece and Rome, two of the very few genuine slave societies in history, formed the core of the ancient world, and they have much to teach the student of recent slave systems.
Designed to bring the contribution of ancient history to the attention of a wider audience, this collection discusses the Classical definition of slavery, the relationship between war, piracy and slavery, early abolitionist movements as well as the supply and domestic aspects of slavery in Antiquity.
Slavery in Greece and Rome has always prompted comparisons with that of more recent history. This volume includes discussions of the relationship between war, piracy and slavery, early abolitionist movements as well as the supply and domestic aspects of slavery in these ancient societies.
