Slavery in the Roman Empire (Routledge Library Editions: Slavery Book 12)

__Slavery in the Roman Empire__, first published in 1928, examines the working of slavery in the first two centuries of the Roman Empire. It analyses the means by which peoples were enslaved, and the roles in which they worked in Roman society. Slavery, first published in 1958, examines four main types of modern slavery: chattel slavery; the sale of women into marriage; the sale of children into work and prostitution; serfdom. It marshals an astonishing array of findings into modern slavery, and outlines the history of the anti-slavery movement. Routledge Library Editions: Slavery analyses the Atlantic slave trade, and its effects on Africa; modern slavery around the world; slave rebellions and resistance; the Abolitionist movements; the suppression of the slave trade; slavery in the ancient world; and more besides.
