The Material Life of Roman Slaves is a major contribution to scholarly debates on the archaeology of Roman slavery. Rather than regarding slaves as irretrievable in archaeological remains, the book takes the archaeological record as a key form of evidence for reconstructing slaves' lives and experiences. Interweaving literature, law, and material evidence, the book searches for ways to see slaves in the various contexts - to make them visible where evidence tells us they were in fact present. Part of this project involves understanding how slaves seem irretrievable in the archaeological record and how they are often actively, if unwittingly, left out of guidebooks and scholarly literature. 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.… (más)

How you can make visible those who left no distinctive traces in the archaeological record? This is Sandra Joshel’s and Lauren Hackworth Petersen’s central question. In their book they develop strategies to reconstruct slaves’ lives and experiences in their living and working contexts. In four chapters they make slaves visible: in the house (chapter 2, p. 24–86), in the city streets (chapter 3, p. 87–117), in the workshops (chapter 4, p. 118–161), and in the villa (chapter 5, p. 162–213). Above all, the book examines small and large houses in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the streets of Pompeii, shops and workplaces of Pompeii and Ostia, and villae at the countryside and the seaside. Beside the archaeological record, the authors refer to works on Roman agriculture as well as satirical and legal texts. The focus on Pompeii and Herculaneum determines also the chronological scope of the study. The book, however, does not aim to search for the material traces slaves left, but rather seeks to establish a methodology to bring to life the houses and streets of Pompeii and Herculaneum and to give an impression of the living conditions, not only of the owners of those houses, but also of the entire household, to illuminate the choreography that determined the everyday life of slaves and masters inside and outside the household. Due to the lack of sources, this is a difficult task and requires a special methodological and theoretical approach. Consequently, Joshel and Hackworth Petersen refer to Michel de Certeau’s work The Practice of Everyday Life, in which he draws a distinction between the concepts of strategy and tactics. While strategies seek to control space and time, tactics describe the means to escape control. The authors describe masters’ strategies—e.g. their control of space and time as well as the control of slaves’ movement—as well as servile tactics of flight, damage, theft, and other forms of misbehavior as they counteract the slave owners’ demands.
