Description

Explore the complex history of human bondage in the ancient Mediterranean with Volume 1 of the Cambridge World History of Slavery. This scholarly work provides a detailed survey of slavery across the ancient Near East and among the Jews, focusing heavily on the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. As some of the first documented examples of genuine slave societies, Greece and Rome are examined through the lens of widespread chattel slavery. The text examines how this system functioned as a cultural manifestation of the constant warfare and violence present in these ancient civilizations. This volume offers a deep look into how these societies operated and the prevalence of slavery within their structures. It is an essential resource for students, historians, and anyone interested in the foundations of ancient social and political systems.
