Description

Book Synopsis
Slavery and sexuality in the ancient world are well researched on their own, yet rarely have they been examined together. This volume explores the range of roles that sex played in the lives of enslaved people in antiquity beyond prostitution, bringing together scholars of both Greece and Rome to consider important and complex issues.

Trade Review
A set of detailed, theoretically informed and compassionate studies of the sexual existence of enslaved persons. Using textual, visual, and archaeological evidence, this valuable book builds on and challenges earlier work to illuminate crucial aspects of forms of domination in the long histories of Ancient Greece and Rome." - Page duBois, author of Slaves and Other Objects

"This brilliant collection of essays will deepen our knowledge of how slavery and sexuality were inseparable in classical antiquity. Ranging from Archaic Greece to the Roman Empire, this book is full of new insights into the power dynamics of ancient societies." - Kyle Harper, University of Oklahoma
