Playing an extremely important role in the economic life of the Roman world, they were also a key instrument for replenishing and even increasing the size of the citizen body. This book presents an original synthesis, for the first time covering both Republic and Empire in a single volume. While providing up-to-date discussions of most significant aspects of the phenomenon, the book also offers a new understanding of the practice of manumission, its role in the organisation of slave labour and the Roman economy, as well as the deep-seated ideological concerns to which it gave rise. It locates the freedman in a broader social and economic context, explaining the remarkable popularity of manumission in the Roman world. 606 $aFreedmen$zRome$xHistory 606 $aSlaves$xEmancipation$zRome 615 0$aFreedmen$xHistory. 615 0$aSlaves$xEmancipation 676 $a306.3/620937 700 $aMouritsen$b Henrik$0176731 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461747403321 996 $aFreedman in the Roman world$9265200 997 $aUNINA
