Slavery in Greece and Rome has always excited comparisons with that of more recent history. Sir Moses Finley, who was an acknowledged expert on both ancient and modern slavery, shortly before his death in 1986, asked a number of scholars from various countries to contribute papers on aspects of Greek and Roman slavery, which he hoped would be of interest to the specialist and non-specialist alike. What did Greek city-states do with their Greek prisoners of war, if most slaves were not Greeks? Was there a serious, intellectual, abolitionist movement in Greece, as Aristotle seems to hint? From where did Romans supply their huge demands for slaves at a period when wars became fewer? How did domestic slaves affect family relation-ships? What happened to slaves in the last epoch of the Roman Empire? These are some of the questions which these papers attempt to answer. The distinguished ancient historian Arnaldo Momigliano surveys the contribution of Finley's work on slavery and the cultural background to his work. Seller Inventory # 202554
