Greek and Roman Slavery

Interest in ancient slavery has been steadily growing since the War. This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modem scholarship constandy refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. Cross-references, bibliography, and a detailed index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject and the author’s interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages.
