Slavery in the Late Antique World, 150 - 700 CE investigates the
ideological, moral, cultural, and symbolic aspects of slavery, as
well the living conditions of slaves in the Mediterranean basin and
Europe during a period of profound transformation. It focuses on
socially marginal areas and individuals on an unprecedented scale.
Written by an international team of scholars, the volume
establishes that late ancient slavery is a complex and polymorphous
phenomenon, one that was conditioned by culture and geography.
Rejecting preconceived ideas about slavery as static and without
regional variation, it offers focused case studies spanning the
late ancient period. They provide in-depth analyses of authors and
works, and consider a range of factors relevant to the practice of
slavery in specific geographical locations. Using comparative and
methodologically innovative approaches, this book revisits and
questions established assumptions about late ancient slavery. It
also enables fresh insights into one of humanity's most tragic
institutions.
