Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Marcion the Enslaver reframes early Christian invective against Marcion through the lens of Roman slavery and the slave trade. Drawing on literary, epigraphic, and medical sources, it reveals how charges that Marcion 'mutilated' texts echoed accusations leveled against deceitful slave traders who altered human bodies for profit. Moving beyond metaphor, the book reconstructs the material and social realities of trafficking: the cosmetic, pharmacological, and surgical techniques used to prepare enslaved people for sale; the collaboration of physicians, cosmeticians, bankers, and educators; and the hidden infrastructure of confinement, training, and exploitation that sustained the trade. By exposing how ancient rhetoric blurred the boundaries between textual corruption and bodily manipulation, Moss challenges modern assumptions about who counted as a slave trader and demonstrates that the entire apparatus of Roman medicine, commerce, and education was complicit in the manufacture and sale of human beings.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - For centuries, Rome's legions were the most feared military force in the ancient world-not because of size or technology alone, but because of something far more complex: a system that turned ordinary farmers into disciplined soldiers, transformed defeat into tactical innovation, and bound individual ambition to collective survival.This book follows the Roman military machine from the Punic Wars through the fall of the Western Empire, examining not just famous battles but the everyday decisions that shaped conquest: how centurions maintained discipline in distant provinces, how engineers adapted siege tactics to unfamiliar terrain, how supply lines determined strategic choices, and how soldiers' letters home reveal the psychological toll of endless expansion.Drawing on archaeological evidence, military correspondence, and ancient testimony, it traces how the legion evolved-from citizen militia to professional standing army-and what that transformation reveals about power, loyalty, and the limits of institutional control. It explores how tactical flexibility coexisted with rigid hierarchy, how Roman commanders learned from enemies, and how the very success of the military system eventually contributed to imperial fragmentation.This is not a story of inevitable triumph, but of human ingenuity, adaptation, and the uncomfortable relationship between military efficiency and the societies it served.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Slaves were property of their dominus, objects rather than persons, without rights: These are some components of our basic knowledge about Roman slavery. But Roman slavery was more diverse than we might assume from the standard wording about servile legal status. Numerous inscriptions as well as literary and legal sources reveal clear differences in the social structure of Roman slavery. There were numerous groups and professions who shared the status of being unfree while inhabiting very different worlds. The papers in this volume pose the question of whether and how legal texts reflected such social differences within the Roman servile community. Did the legal system reinscribe social differences, and if so, in what shape Were exceptions created only in individual cases, or did the legal system generate privileges for particular groups of slaves Did it reinforce and even promote social differentiation All papers probe neuralgic points that are apt to challenge the homogeneous image of Roman slave law. They show that this law was a good deal more colourful than historical research has so far assumed. The authors' primary concern is to make this legal diversity accessible to historical scholarship. ; In der Buchreihe des 'Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies' werden Monographien und Tagungsbände, die das Phänomen der Sklaverei und andere Formen asymmetrischer Abhängigkeiten in Gesellschaften untersuchen, veröffentlicht. Die Reihe folgt dabei der Forschungsagenda des BCDSS, die die vorherrschende dichotomische Vorstellung von 'Sklaverei versus Freiheit' überwindet. Das Cluster hat dazu ein neues Schlüsselkonzept ('asymmetrische Abhängigkeiten') entwickelt, das alle Ausprägungen von ungleichen Dependenzen (wie etwa Schuldknechtschaft, Zwangsarbeit, Dienstbarkeit, Leibeigenschaft, Hausarbeit, aber auch gewisse Formen der Lohnarbeit und der Patronage) berücksichtigt. Dabei werden auch Epochen, Räume und Kontexte der Weltgeschichte bearbeitet, die nicht der europäischen Kolonisierung ausgesetzt waren (z.B. altorientalische Kulturen sowie vormoderne und moderne Gesellschaften in Asien, Afrika und den Amerikas).…
