Slavery and Roman Literary Culture, Sandra R. Joshel

#i have a small collection of texts on greek & roman slavery in the late republic era and the early empire from doing #a bunch of research for a spartacus comic and this is something that rattles around in my head constantly #i dont have a reading tag bc i have a sideblog for that but hey! what's the point of a blog if not to post on it #anyway! horrific! that one quote from the spartacus documentary. that the worst thing was to 'get used to it.' #there's a previous part in this text about the assimilation of identity and the violence of benevolence etc #(i also had to do a lot of this for the crassus comic and unlocked a new debate about his wealth that keeps me up at night for other reason #like. i need a map. actually i need several maps and a spanish dictionary) #roman slavery tag
