Being everybody’s slaves? Framing the issue
No full textThis paper introduces a series of contributions on public slavery in the Roman and the Modern and Early-Modern World, which are collected in a special thematic issue of the Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies (BICS 64-2). The volume stems from an international conference entitled ‘Being Everybody’s Slaves: Public Slavery in Ancient and Modern World’, which was held at Newcastle University on 22–4 March 2018. The event was part of the ‘Servi Publici: Everybody’s Slaves (SPES)’ research project that was based at Newcastle University from 2016 to 2018 and received funding under a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (H2020-MSCA-IF-2015, grant agreement no. 704716). The aim of this introduction is to frame the issue of public slavery in light of the ideas put forward by the contributors and the recent achievement in modern scholarship

Tegole con bolli dei Messii: una produzione laterizia in Veneto tra romanizzazione e romanità
Full text linkBerua, Raeticum oppidum dei Beruenses
No full textThe exact location of Berua – a town recorded by Pliny the Elder among the Raetica oppida in the Regio X – and the tribe in which its inhabitants – the Beruenses – were enrolled are still unknown. In section 1, the paper provides an overview of the available sources concerning Berua and the Beruenses. In section 2, all previous hypotheses of identifying the town and its inhabitants’ tribe are discussed. In section 3, a new interpretation, which suggests to identify the tribe of the Beruenses with the Scaptia tribus and Berua with the modern Italian town of Montebelluna (Treviso), is proposed
Iscrizioni alienae di Tarvisium, II. CIL V, 125*, 1-3: un aggiornamento
No full textThe paper takes into account the inscriptions collected by Theodor Mommsen as falsae vel alienae in the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum section referring to Tarvisium (CIL V, 125*, 1-3). Three inscriptions are in fact preserved in the Civic Museum of Treviso, but they do not come from the Roman site of Tarvisium: two of them come from Salona in Dalmatia (CIL III, 2243; CIL III, 2475 = 8635) and one is from Roma (CIL VI, 10872). The study of these three documents has allowed to reassess the archaeological and epigraphic data for each piece as well as to add some new elements to the history of the epigraphic collection preserved in the Civic Museum of Treviso

Servi publici al servizio dei sodales Augustales Claudiales. Rilettura di alcuni frammenti epigrafici dei fasti di Bovillae

Thanks to the identification of a consular date - [Q(uinto) Servilio Pu]dente, L(ucio) Fufidio P[ollione co(n)s(ulibus)] -, one of them can now be dated to 166 CE
La ‘pietra d’inciampo’. Luigi Bailo e la scoperta a Treviso dell’iscrizione del quattuorviro Sex. Ligustinus
No full textAlcuni inediti documenti conservati presso l’Archivio Storico dei Musei Civici di Treviso consentono di comprovare la provenienza trevigiana di un’epigrafe che, menzionando un quattuorviro giusdicente, riveste un’importanza determinante per la storia del municipium romano di Tarvisium (Regio X). Essi, inoltre, contribuiscono a restituire una vivida testimonianza della temperie politica e culturale della Treviso tra i due conflitti mondiali, evidenziando l’importanza del ruolo svolto da Luigi Bailo per la conservazione del patrimonio culturale trevigiano. I dati ricavati dallo studio di tali documenti aprono infine il campo a considerazioni di carattere antiquario e a nuove riflessioni sul reimpiego in età medievale del materiale epigrafico nel centro storico di Treviso.Some unpublished documents kept in the Treviso Civic Museum Archive prove that a Latin inscription really comes from the city of Treviso; this epigraphical evidence is very important for the Roman history of the municipium of Tarvisium since it mentions a quattuorvir iure dicundo. Furthermore, these documents testify the political and cultural climate of Treviso between the two world wars; in particular, they confirm the important role of Luigi Bailo in the conservation of the cultural heritage from Treviso. Finally,
the study of these documents offers the opportunity to rethink about the reuse of Latin inscriptions during the early mediaeval period in Treviso
Slaves of the People. A Political and Social History of Roman Public Slavery
No full textSlavery played a crucial economic and social role in the Roman history. Unfree individuals were employed to perform a wide range of duties in both the domestic environment and the public sphere. Along with the large population of private slaves who were owned by individual masters, and the smaller but influential group of Imperial slaves who were property of the emperors, there was another category of slaves: the so-called 'public slaves' (servi publici). They were unfree individuals, owned by a community rather than a single master.
Based on primary evidence, the book aims to provide a comprehensive study of public slavery in the Roman world. By focusing on the use of public slaves in both Rome and in other cities of the Western Empire, as well as on the development of public slavery from the Middle Republic to Late Antiquity, the volume attempts to define public slavery and to explore the historical significance of public slavery across time. It also analyses the role played by public slaves in the life of the community they belonged to. Specific attention is then drawn to manumission of public slaves and the legal status of freed public slaves. Finally, the book addresses the issue of the position of public slaves in Roman society
