About this Event
Dr Emma Southon joins us to launch her brilliant exploration of the lives of enslaved people in the Roman Empire, Servus, in conversation with Dr Jane Draycott!
Dr Southon's new book is a brilliant revisionist look at one of the most hidden, yet most important, corners of the Roman world: the enslaved population, whose work was ubiquitous and vital to sustaining the Roman Empire, but whose voices and freedoms were stripped from them. Drawing a range of literary and archaeological evidence, Servus centres the unseen lives that the Roman Empire was really built on.
Dr Southon will be in discussion with Dr Jane Draycott of the University of Glasgow about the book, talking about using historical and archaeological sources, giving voices back to the voiceless, and how this should impact our understanding of the Romans, before signing copies of her books.
