On the Roman Slave Supply and Slavebreeding
This chapter examines the review of some modern opinions of how warfare and breeding provided Roman slave-owners with slaves, noting certain problems which attend conventional views in the process. It describes the maintenance over time of the slave population in the Roman heartland, the city itself and Italy. The chapter discusses that the slaves imported to Rome and Italy under the Republic were predominantly male because female slaves were not…

Recognizing that a traditional nuclear model is necessary for a basic understanding of Roman family organization, Keith R. Bradley argues that a broader, more extensive context must be established if this structure is to be fully appreciated. Examining…
