Summary:

"Drawing on literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence, this book provides cases studies that test the various ways in which juridical categories and normative discourses shaped the social and cultural landscape in which freed people lived. It addresses the challenge of studying Roman freed persons on the basis of highly fragmentary sources"-- Provided by publisher
