Up to now ancient slavery may have been difficult to fathom: this Roman's-eye view takes us to the heart of the matter and, based on a wealth of original sources, lets us understand just why slaves meant so much to the Romans.

Via the persona of Marcus Sidonius Falx, How to Manage your Slaves offers practical answers to every question you're likely to have on the subject of slavery in the Roman world. Marcus Sidonius Falx shows where and how Romans bought slaves, the purposes for which they did so and how authority, punishment and freedom were practiced at all levels of society.

Marcus Sidonius Falx is a Roman of noble birth, whose family have kept slaves for generations. After serving with distinction in the legions, he retired to manage his substantial estates. He now divides his time between his country properties and his luxury villa on the Esquiline hill overlooking Rome. He has employed Dr Jerry Toner, Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics, Churchill College, Cambridge University, to set his work in context.
