Fitting in by Decree: Freed Slaves, Euergetism, and Local Politics
This chapter analyzes a number of municipal decrees and honorary inscriptions from Campania which can be dated to the second century CE. In these texts freed persons receive honors and privileges as a reward for their benefactions towards the community. The phenomenon itself is not surprising, but most acts of generosity by freed persons were done in their capacity as Augustales . In all cases discussed in this chapter the benefactions were done …
Freed Persons in the Roman World: Status, Diversity, and Representation
How were freed people represented in the Roman world? This volume presents new research about the integration of freed persons into Roman society. It addresses the challenge of studying Roman freed persons on the basis of highly fragmentary sources whose contents have been fundamentally shaped by the forces of domination. Even though freed persons were defined through a common legal status and shared the experience of enslavement and manumission,…

Childhood, Greece and Rome
In the Greco‐Roman world, childhood was believed to last from birth to the age of twelve for girls and fourteen for boys, when biological maturity set in.
Creating new citizens: Freed slaves, the state and citizenship in early Rome and under Augustus
In the first year of the Republic there was a conspiracy which failed because a slave reported it to the authorities. As a reward he received a sum of money and was granted his freedom as well as Roman citizenship. The historian Livy claims that this was the first time a slave was freed through the procedure of manumissio vindicta, and that the ceremony derived its name from the slave in question: Vindicius. Many scholars have pointed out that th…

The Faces of Freedom: The Manumission and Emancipation of Slaves in Old World and New World Slavery
This volume is concerned with examining the histories of freed slaves in a variety of slave societies in the ancient and modern world, ranging from ancient Rome to the southern states of the US, the Caribbean, and Brazil to Africa in the aftermath of emancipation in the twentieth century. The aim of this work is to present a comparative forum for the study of freedpeople. By identifying what is separate and what is universal about freedpeople it …
After the Past: Essays in Ancient History in Honour of H.W. Pleket
What was funny about ancient jokes, and why? Why did the Roman state legislate to curb the behaviour of its obscenely rich and powerful elite, if it never really expected such laws to be obeyed? Why did it oppress the poor, and lavish public child support on them? These are important questions, but ancient Greeks and Romans could never have thought of them. They never questioned the right of the rich to be rich. They could not improve their under…
