Book Synopsis
A new framework for studying slaves and slavery in ancient societies

Trade Review
"Treating slavery as a single thing was politically vital to abolitionism, but has become an impediment to scholarly understanding. Vlassopoulos shows how vital it is to stop considering slaves and slavery to be one thing if we are to understand Greek and Roman slavery. His rich and compelling picture of ancient slavery is the first step towards an honest mapping of the dynamics of power and domination across ancient societies that does not hide behind the classifications that they and we have found it politically convenient to adopt." -Robin Osborne, University of Cambridge
