Slave revolts in the ancient historiography. 330 $aAlthough much has been written on Greek and Roman slavery, slave resistance has typically been dismissed as historically insignificant and those revolts that are documented are portrayed as wholly exceptional and resulting from peculiar historical circumstances that had little to do with the intrinsic views or organizational capabilities of the slaves themselves. In this book Theresa Urbainczyk challenges the current orthodoxy and argues that there were many more slave revolts than is usually assumed and they were far from insignificant historically. She carefully dissects ancient and modern interpretations to show that there was every reason for the writers who recorded and re-recorded the slave rebellions and wars to repress or to reconfigure any larger-scale slave resistance as something other than what it was. Further, she shows that we often have the accounts that we do because of the happenstance of certain ancient authors having been particularly interested in creating accounts of them for their own interests. Urbainczyk argues that we need to look beyond the canonical sources and episodes to see a bigger history of long-term resistance of slaves to their enslavement. 606 $aSlave rebellions$zGreece 606 $aSlave rebellions$zRome 606 $aSlavery$zGreece 606 $aSlavery$zRome 615 0$aSlave rebellions 615 0$aSlave rebellions 615 0$aSlavery 615 0$aSlavery 676 $a306.362 700 $aUrbainczyk$b Theresa$f1960-,$0620143 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789850903321 996 $aSlave revolts in antiquity$93862035 997 $aUNINA
