The Space in Between: Honourable Slaves and the Theory of Natural Slavery
The study of Ancient slavery and the path to renewal: A critique
This response highlights an underlying issue of the contribution offered by Joly and Knust – namely the problematic relationship between the top-down proposal of a theoretical framework for the study of ancient slavery on the one hand, and on the other hand the role of practices of domination, however light-touch, in the structuring of social relations in academia, and by extension contemporary society at large. In so doing, the response articula…
T. Spawforth, What the Greeks Did For Us
Asking after the influence of prior civilisations on modern society is a long-established historical practice, one that regularly spills over into the world of what nowadays may be called popular publication. Open the curtains for What the Greeks Did For Us, Anthony Spawforth’s dazzling tour de force across numerous facets of ancient Greek influence on or, more often, resemblances and receptions in the modern world. Written by one of the great co…
Second Prologue: The Latin Literary Universe of Junian Latinity
First Prologue: A Millennium of Legislation on Junians and Other Latins
Junian Latinity in the Roman Empire Volume 1: History, Law, Literature
This book offers new historical, legal and literary explorations of a status held by uncountable formerly enslaved persons in the Roman Empire: Junian Latinity. It is the first book in any language to provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary study of this status. Divided in two parts, the book sets the scene with six chapters that discuss the legal innovations that created Junian Latinity, as well as the historical contexts in which the status wa…
Was Camillus Right? Roman History and Narratological Strategy in Livy 5.49.2
This article deals with one particular aspect of Livy's narrative of the Gallic Sack of Rome, told in Book 5, and traditionally placed in 390 b.c. —namely the issue over the validity of the ransom agreement struck by the Romans with the Gauls. The broader context is well known—and needs only brief reiteration here. When the Gauls march on Rome, the Romans give battle at the river Allia, leading to a resounding Gallic victory. Most of the Romans f…

Medienethnografische Porträts als Auswertungsinstrument: Techniken der kontextsensiblen Rezeptionsanalyse
The Gallic Ransom and the Sack of Rome
The article challenges the widespread view that the Gallic ransom mentioned in a number of sources for the events traditionally known as the Sack of Rome in 390 BC should be understood as evidence that the Gauls did not take Rome in its entirety. The article shows in contrast that, whatever happened in the night when the geese suffered from insomnia on the Capitoline Hill, a ransom is a perfectly suitable element in a story of a Gallic take-over …
Liberating the Cena
That the extraordinary narrative experiment known as the Satyricon has regularly stimulated scholarly investigation into the relationship between status and freedom is not surprising for a work, the longest surviving section of which features an excessive dinner party at the house of a libertus . Much of the discussion has concentrated on the depiction of the dinner's host and his freedmen friends. Following the lead of F. Zeitlin and others in s…
An(other) Epitaph for Trimalchio: Sat . 30.2
Trimalchio's fabulous epitaph, recited in full by Petronius’ colourful host towards the end of the Cena ( Sat . 71.12), has long attracted abundant comment. Similarly, allusions to the underworld in much of the decoration leading to and in Trimalchio's dining room have been the object of intense scholarly discussion of the freedman's morbid characterization. In consequence, it is now accepted that epitaph and funereal allusions make for a deliber…
Comic Shackles
In vilicationem relegavit”: Petronius, Satyrica 69.3
L’article soutient l’idée que le châtiment de Trimalchio dans Satyrica , 69, 3, consistait davantage en une dégradation de ses fonctions professionnelles que dans un transfert dans un autre lieu, comme la campagne
Men Without Hope
The article argues that the passages typically employed to document the Romans' exploitation of chained slaves in the Italian countryside from the mid-Republic into the Principate actually have a quite different meaning. The servus vinctus mentioned by Columella, Pliny and others is a label that became attached to slaves who were subjected (at least once) to punishment through chaining. The punishment reduced the value of the slave and, hence, it…
Peculium, Freedom, Citizenship: Golden Triangle or Vicious Circle? An Act in Two Parts
The importance of the slave's hope for freedom for the smooth running of the Roman slave system has long been recognised by modern scholarship. This hope was mirrored on the masters' side by what Thomas Wiedemann has called 'the ideal of regular manumission'. 1 But despite the recognition of both (servile) hope and (masterly) ideal, scholars are much less agreed on how realistic a prospect manumission actually was, and how manumission was typical…
