Freedmen occupied a complex and often problematic place in Roman society between slaves on the one hand and freeborn citizens on the other. Playing an extremely important role in the economic life of the Roman world, they were also a key instrument for replenishing and even increasing the size of the citizen body. This book presents an original synthesis, for the first time covering both Republic and Empire in a single volume. While providing up-to-date discussions of most significant aspects of the phenomenon, the book also offers a new understanding of the practice of manumission, its role in the organisation of slave labour and the Roman economy, as well as the deep-seated ideological concerns to which it gave rise. It locates the freedman in a broader social and economic context, explaining the remarkable popularity of manumission in the Roman world.

This book explores the institution of manumission-the freeing of slaves-in ancient Rome from a gendered perspective. Rome was unique among ancient polities in that it bestowed freed slaves with full citizenship, granting them rights nearly equal to those of freeborn individuals. The sexual identities of a female slave and a female citizen were fundamentally incompatible, as the former was principally defined by her sexual availability and the latter by her sexual integrity. Accordingly, those evaluating the manumission process needed to reconcile a woman's experiences as a slave with the expectations and moral rigor required of the female citizen.

"The spade-work of civilizing the world was done in the first two centuries of the Roman Empire, according to author R.H. Barrow, who goes on to remark that this labor-preparing the ground for Western civilization-is Rome's legacy to later generations. "What part did slavery play in this work?" asks the author of this intriguing book. "Was it so immoral, so degrading ... as to hamper the work of Romanization? Or was it even an instrument in that very process, which was being carried forward by many influences?" SLAVERY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE is Barrow's attempt to answer these provocative questions. This is a penetrating and vivid study that traces the process of enslavement to citizenship, and indicates along the way the issues involved for the individual and the Empire. One of the highlights of SLAVERY IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE is its description of Roman daily life. Readers are provided with windows into the imperial houses, where slave duties were subdivided with an amazing minuteness; the Roman world of business, where some slaves, often more skilled and knowledgeable than their masters, became rich and took on the roles of agents and contractors; and the organization and administration of townships, which, due to Roman attitudes toward clerical work (that it was beneath a Roman citizen), put slaves in some important and responsible positions. Chapters on how slaves came to Rome, on their work, on their inner and private life, and on manumission and the perpetual struggle to rise from slavery to freedom climax in the chapter, "The mingling of nations." Here, Barrow combines the studies of the first seven chapters and views Roman slavery in the larger context and estimates its effects on the health of the Empire."--Jacket

In Greco-Roman society the typical labourer was a peasant, not a slave. Yet, while specialized studies of ancient slavery abound, the subject of free labour, its incidence, status and economic significance, has received little attention. This volume of essays provides a summary of the available evidence for non-slave labour in antiquity and a bibliographical guide, but in addition advances novel interpretations concerning, for example, the composition of the 'labouring class', the relation between slave and peasant systems of production, and the importance of free dependent labour in the Western Roman provinces.

"During the transition from Republic to Empire, the Roman aristocracy adapted traditional values to accommodate the advent of monarchy. Freed Slaves and Roman Imperial Culture examines the ways in which members of the elite appropriated strategies from freed slaves to negotiate their relationship to the princeps and to redefine measures of individual progress. Primarily through the medium of inscribed burial monuments, Roman freedmen entered a broader conversation about power, honor, virtue, memory, and the nature of the human life course. Through this process, former slaves exerted a profound influence on the transformation of aristocratic values at a critical moment in Roman history"--

Capitalizing on the rich historical record of late antiquity, and employing sophisticated methodologies from social and economic history, this book reinterprets the end of Roman slavery. Kyle Harper challenges traditional interpretations of a transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages, arguing instead that a deep divide runs through 'late antiquity', separating the Roman slave system from its early medieval successors. In the process, he covers the economic, social and institutional dimensions of ancient slavery and presents the most comprehensive analytical treatment of a pre-modern slave system now available. By scouring the late antique record, he has uncovered a wealth of new material, providing fresh insights into the ancient slave system, including slavery's role in agriculture and textile production, its relation to sexual exploitation, and the dynamics of social honor. By demonstrating the vitality of slavery into the later Roman empire, the author shows that Christianity triumphed amidst a genuine slave society.
