Excerpt from Agricola: A Study of Agriculture and Rustic Life, in the Greco-Roman World From the Point of View of Labour
Its own scope. I have only to thank those to whose kindness I am deeply indebted. Professor Buckland was so good as to help me when I was striving to utilize the evidence of the Roman jurists. Chapter XLIX in particular owes much to his genial chastisement. On chapters II and LXI Mr G G Coulton has given me most valuable criticism. Yet I thank these gentlemen with some reluctance, fearing that I may seem to connect their names with errors of my own. Mr T R Glover kindly read chapter XXIX. Professor Housman called my attention to the 'farmer's Law,' and kindly lent me Mr Ashburner's articles, to which I have referred in Appendix B. To all these, and to the Syndics of the University Press for undertaking the publication of this uncon ventional work, I hereby express my sincere gratitude. My reasons for adopting the method followed in this book are given on pages 5-6.

Excerpt from Agricola: A Study of Agriculture and Rustic Life, in the Greco-Roman World From the Point of View of Labour
Very few words are needed here, for the book is meant to explain its own scope. I have only to thank those to whose kindness I am deeply indebted. Professor Buckland was so good as to help me when I was striving to utilize the evidence of the Roman jurists. Chapter XLIX in particular owes much to his genial chastisement. On chapters II and LXI Mr G G Coulton has given me most valuable criticism. Yet I thank these gentlemen with some reluctance, fearing that I may seem to connect their names with errors of my own.

To all these, and to the Syndics of the University Press for undertaking the publication of this unconventional work, I hereby express my sincere gratitude. My reasons for adopting the method followed in this book are given on pages 5-6 and 468.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive book investigates the presence of slavery within Greco-Roman agriculture, examining the contrasting statuses of slaves and free laborers. The author argues that slavery was not the exclusive or primary basis of agricultural production, as some have suggested. Instead, free labor played a significant role throughout the Greco-Roman period, from ancient Greece until late antiquity. The author offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between agriculture, slavery, and free labor in the ancient world, shedding light on the social, economic, and political implications of these intertwined elements. Drawing on a wide range of sources, from literary works to legal and economic records, the author provides a rich and detailed account of agricultural practices, labor relations, and the interplay between slaves and free laborers. This book's insights illuminate the diverse and evolving nature of agriculture in the ancient Mediterranean world, enriching our understanding of this fundamental aspect of Greco-Roman society and its lasting legacy.
