W. W. Buckland's highly regarded magisterial work of 1908 is a
scholarly and thorough description of the principles of the Roman
law with regard to slavery. Chapters systematically address, in
Buckland's words, 'the most characteristic part of the most
characteristic intellectual product of Rome'. In minute detail,
Buckland surveys slaves and the complexity of the position of the
slave in Roman law, describing how slaves are treated both as
animals and as free men. He begins by outlining the definition of
'slave', their characteristics and conditions, giving examples of
particular cases and describing for the reader the sorts of work a
Roman slave might do. Carefully and comprehensively referenced
throughout, this is a general survey of an important aspect of
Roman law by a renowned Cambridge academic, which retains its
status as an enduring classic.
