Buchbeschreibung Broschiert / Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 284 Seiten / p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Interest in ancient slavery has been steadily growing since the War - partly in response to the Marxist interpretation of slavery as one of the characteristic types of economic systems, partly as a comparison and contrast to New World slavery and the preconceptions associated with it. There has not been any previous collection of relevant ancient sources in a form suitable for students or specialists in disciplines such as Modern or Social and Economic History unfamiliar with the classical languages - indeed, there does not even exist such a collection for specialists in Classics. -- This selection provides readers interested in ancient slavery with translations in contemporary English of those major texts from Greek and Latin literature to which modern scholarship constantly refers, as well as a small sample of the epigraphical and other non-literary material. -- Cross-references, Bibliography, and a detailed Index are provided to make it particularly suitable for use by School and University classes. Although it is intended as a supplement and not a substitute for a systematic treatment of the subject, and the author's interpretative comment is kept to a minimum, the material is arranged with introductions bringing out the significance of each of the chosen passages. -- CONTENTS -- Preface -- Abbreviations -- Table of Weights, Measures and Currency -- Map of the Ancient Mediterranean World -- Map of Southern Italy and Greece Introductory Outline -- 1.
