Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic source book for students of Classical Rome. It makes obscure and previously uninterpreted resources accessible for those whose Latin might not be good enough to decipher found fragments and written text, opening up the world of the marginal in Roman society and allowing for reconstruction of a civilization that goes beyond the memoirs of its elite.
I was fortunate to study under Professor Wiedemann who was a groundbreaking historian and an inspiration for future classicists.

Review of Wiedemann's Greek and Roman Slavery
6 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
This collection of primary source passages would be immensely approved if Wiedemann had endeavored to separate passages on Greek slavery from passages on Roman slavery. Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Assyrian, Persia: each major imperial power had its own system of slavery. It seems naive to mix together these two as though they were identical.
Beyond that very pressing problem, this is a useful tool for primary source research on slavery in Greece and Rome. The translations look fine, often include glosses of Greek and Latin terms, are are grouped into important themes.
