This book is concerned with discovering what it was like to be a slave in the classical Roman world, and with revealing the impact the institution of slavery made on Roman society at large. It shows how and in what sense Rome was a slave society through much of its history, considers how the Romans procured their slaves, discusses the work roles slaves fulfilled and the material conditions under which they spent their lives, investigates how slaves responded to and resisted slavery, and reveals how slavery, as an institution, became more and more oppressive over time under the impact of philosophical and religious teaching. The book stresses the harsh realities of life in slavery and the way in which slavery was an integral part of Roman civilisation.

相比作者十年前的那本，这部更重视奴隶与社会的联系、政治、经济生产和释奴地位等比较传统的问题。仍然是比较调和的Finley式「奴隶主们还是人道的，残酷的是奴隶制度」论调，但是相比于上一本强调「奴隶主们还比较人道」，这本更多强调「奴隶制度很残酷」……可以做入门书啦。

It is a historical,objective reality that slavery was an evil, violent and brutalising institution that the Romans themselves,across a vast interval of time and space,consciously chose to maintain,for which they themselves were responsible,whose justification they never seriously questioned and for which no apology or exoneration can now be offered
