Ancient Roman Slavery and American Slavery

Описание к видео Ancient Roman Slavery and American Slavery

From the colonial period through the nineteenth century, ancient Rome often served as a touchstone for slaveholders in the United States--the slaveholding "civilization" that they aspired to emulate. But how did ancient Romans themselves conceive and institutionalize slavery? And how did their understandings of freedom hinge on the deveolpment of a slave system? Answering these questions will raise a series of troubling questions about how we interpret slavery and emancipation in the United States. Speakers:Lynn Thomas, Sandra Joshel
