Expanding the Ancient World Workshop: From Silver Mines to the Palatine: Slavery in the Roman World

Part of the Expanding the Ancient World professional development series for teachers, this session led by Charlotte Mandy helps educators integrate Roman slavery more deeply into history curricula. Rather than treating the topic strictly in abstract terms, the session frames slavery as both a ubiquitous legal phenomenon and a varied spectrum of lived reality—examining primary material that ranges from transactional documents and theatrical comedies to the tombstone of a child miner.
