520 $aRather than regard slaves as irretrievable in the ruins of ancient Roman cities and villas, this study takes the archaeological record as a key form of evidence for reconstructing slaves' lives and experiences. Interweaving literature, law, and material evidence, the authors search for ways to see slaves in these various contexts--to make them visible where texts tell us they were in fact present. Individual chapters explore the dichotomy between visibility and invisibility and between appearance and disappearance in four physical and social locations--urban houses, city streets and neighborhoods, workshops, and villas.--From publisher description.
