The essays in this collection explore how material culture - namely, art, architecture, and inscriptions - can illustrate Roman attitudes towards the institution of slavery and towards slaves themselves in ways that significantly augment conventional textual accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding the first interdisciplinary approach to the study of Roman slavery, the volume brings together diverse specialists in history, art history, and archaeology. The contributors engage with questions concerning the slave trade, manumission, slave education, containment and movement, and the use of slaves in the Roman army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michele George\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442644575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442644571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.21w x 0.90d","brand":"Michele George","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065597702399,"sku":"9781442644571","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fdb2f840-8e20-49a4-9076-947b1029336c.jpg?v=1768676031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/roman-slavery-and-roman-material-michele-george-9781442644571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
