Imperial Villas
The Roman imperial court was not confined to the palaces of Rome. Emperors owned lavish villas in rural and seaside areas of Italy, at which they and members of their court would often sojourn. This chapter examines the imperial villas for which there are substantial archaeological remains, including Tiberius’ Villa Iovis on Capreae, Domitian’s villa at Lacus Albanus, Hadrian’s villa at Tibur, and the Antonine Villa Magna near Anagnia. The remain…

Slavery and Roman material culture
INTRODUCTION At its best, Roman material culture brings a dimension to historical inquiry that written sources cannot by recapturing the texture of daily life and by providing a unique angle from which to interpret cultural attitudes and behaviour. This is especially important for Roman slavery since there are no slave narratives or plantation account books as there are from the antebellum American South, nor the vivid descriptions by contemporar…
The Cambridge World History of Slavery
Volume 1 in the new Cambridge World History of Slavery surveys the history of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean world. Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews, its principal concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread prevalence of chattel slavery, which is argued to have been a cultur…
The Lives of Slaves
Defining the work of slaves, however, is easier than understanding the world of their thoughts and feelings, since the written evidence is so minimal. On many issues, therefore, we must be content with mere impressions of what it was like to be a Roman slave. The problem is compounded by the variegated nature of Roman slavery, which undermines any sweeping generalities we might make about the lives of slaves. Slaves might have endured great cruel…

Family Imagery and Family Values in Roman Italy
This chapter looks at family portrait groups on Republican and early imperial funerary commemoration that reflect the same set of attitudes toward family life and shows how the emerging urban middle class of Italy, former slaves in Rome, and citizens of mixed origins in Cisalpine Gaul in northern Italy, used family imagery to position themselves in the mainstream culture. Both sets of reliefs reflect the emergence of a social group, whether of fr…
Domestic Architecture and Household Relations
Domestic architecture has been used by classical archaeologists and historians to trace aspects of social relations in the Roman world. As the context for diverse activities, both private and public, the Roman domus was also a critical locus for domestic relations among members of the nuclear family, dependants such as freedmen and slaves, as well as non-residents. Yet much of the texture of daily life within the household remains beyond our gras…
Household and City Organization at Olynthus
Olynthus, one of the best-preserved ancient Greek cities, was excavated in the 1920s and 1930s, revealing more than a hundred houses and their exceptionally complete contents. In this copiously illustrated book, Nicholas Cahill analyzes this archaeological information and provides important new insights into the daily lives of the ancient Greeks, the organization of their public and domestic space, and the economic and social patterns in Olynthus

Images of Black Slaves in the Roman Empire
Although not an operative principle in Roman slavery, race did have consequences for the tasks of black slaves and for their representation in Roman art. Although they developed from varied Greek artistic precedents, Blacks occur most often in Roman art as slaves. As signs of their masters’ wealth and status, images of black slaves evoked exotic locales and were invested with apotropaic powers. The somatic differences of Blacks reinforced their v…
