We would like to draw your attention to the two day conference "Social Status or Legal Difference? The Rank of Slaves in Antique Roman Society" organized by Prof. Dr. Martin J. Schermaier and the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies

The conference is scheduled to take place online via Zoom on August 28-29, 2020.

It is well known that Roman slaves did not form a homogeneous group but belonged to different social ranks. That mostly depended on the kind of work they exercised. Did private or public law reflect such differences? Did it help to institutionalize them? Did legal provisions or decisions even foster them? These are the main questions dealt with in the papers to be presented.

All lecturers are renowned experts in the field of Roman slave law.
