Slavery was foundational to Greek and Roman societies, affecting nearly all of their economic, social, political, and cultural practices. Greek and Roman Slaveries offers a rich collection of literary, epigraphic, papyrological, and archaeological sources, including many unfamiliar ones. This sourcebook ranges chronologically from the archaic period to late antiquity, covering the whole of the Mediterranean, the Near East, and temperate Europe.
Readers will find an interactive and user-friendly engagement with past scholarship and new research agendas that focuses particularly on the agency of ancient slaves, the processes in which slavery was inscribed, the changing history of slavery in antiquity, and the comparative study of ancient slaveries.
Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses on ancient slavery, as well as courses on slavery more generally, this sourcebooks questions, cross-references, and bibliographies encourage an analytical and interactive approach to the various economic, social, and political processes and contexts in which slavery was employed while acknowledging the agency of enslaved persons.

All translations are our own. Unless otherwise specified, we have translated what is considered the standard edition of the Greek and Latin literary texts. For papyri, we have translated the text appearing in papyri.info, while for inscriptions we have translated the text indicated in their reference number unless otherwise specified.
*** indicates that something of the original Greek or Latin text has been lost in transmission.
indicates that the transmitted Greek or Latin text is problematic, and the exact wording of the original cannot be recovered.
[] indicates that (i) text has been omitted by us or (ii) text has been lost through damage to the inscription or papyrus.
[aaa] lost text restored by the modern editor.
text erroneously omitted in the transmitted Greek or Latin text but added by the modern editor.
(aaa) text added by us to facilitate understanding.
We have used assimilated English forms of names of persons, places, and peoples whenever we judged them recognizable relatively widely (e.g. Attica, Rhodes, Lacedaemonians, the philosopher Socrates).
Names of ancient authors: We have followed the style of the Oxford Classical Dictionary both for the authors of the sources and for authors mentioned in them.
Other persons names: In translations of Latin sources, we have kept the Latin form of persons names, whatever the names origin. With one exception (source 12.2), in translations of Greek sources, we have transliterated peoples names of Greek origin but used the Latin form of Latin names.
Place names: We have used Greek transliterations of toponyms in the Eastern Mediterranean and Latin forms of toponyms in the Western Mediterranean, the northern Balkans, and northern Europe.
Names of peoples: For the names roots, we have followed the same policy as with place names, so that the people can be connected with the corresponding toponym relatively easily. But we have tended to use assimilated English endings throughout (e.g. Achaeans, Kilikians, Dacians).
This book has had a very long gestation, from the early 2010s, when it was conceived, until its final delivery almost a decade later. We would like to thank Wiley Blackwell and its staff for their original invitation to contribute this volume to the Blackwell Sourcebooks in Ancient History series, as well as for their patience over the years; we hope that the final product has made the long journey worth its salt!Much of the final work for this book was done in lockdown conditions because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are grateful to colleagues and friends who gave us access to material we would not otherwise be able to consult in such circumstances. We would particularly like to thank Angelos Chaniotis, Eleanor Dickey, Kyriaki Konstantinidou, and the staff at the Library of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Lisbon for providing us with materials and going out of their way to help. Kostas Vlassopoulos would like to thank the Department of History and Archaeology, University of Crete, for the research leave in spring 2020, alongside with the Center of Hellenic Studies in Washington, DC, for the Spring Fellowship during the same period; in combination, they provided the time and facilities for completing this volume. We would also like to express our gratitude to the following scholars and friends for their help and generosity in terms of finding the texts and images that appear in this volume: Elizabeth Fentress, Harriet Flower, Pavlina Karanastasi, Stephanie Maillot, Monica Trmper, Mantha Zarmakoupi, and Gabriel Zuchtriegel. We would also like to thank the British Museum, the Leiden Rijksmuseum, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio Calabria, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, and the Parco Archeologico di Pompeii for permission to reproduce the images included in this volume. Special thanks also go to Margherita Maria Di Nino for her help in our communication with Italian cultural authorities and to Timothy Duff and Fotini Hadjittofi, who always found time to discuss translation issues with us; Timothy Duff also read and improved large parts of our text, for which we are very grateful. Needless to add, all remaining errors and other shortcomings are our own responsibility.
