This book critically examines the existence and identification of purpose-built slave markets in the Graeco-Roman world from a cross-cultural perspective.

First, selected parallels, namely slave markets in Istanbul, Marrakesh, Cairo, Havana, Charleston, and New Orleans, are analyzed in order to:...

EAA 97: Monument 97; Orton Longueville, Cambridgeshire : A late Pre-Roman Iron Age and Early Roman Farmstead
ISBN: 9780952810513 / Angielski / Miękka / 89 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Identified from cropmarks and excavated in 1974, the site consisted of three enclosures belonging to a small farmstead lasting from at least the later 1st century BC to the middle of the 2nd century AD.

After it was abandoned, its earthworks were incorporated into the Roman field system and, eventually, the corner of an enclosure was used for a...
