KORTE INHOUD
How you can make visible those who left no distinctive traces in the archaeological record? This is Sandra Joshel?s and Lauren Hackworth Petersen?s central question.

In four chapters they make slaves visible: in the house (chapter 2, p. 24?86), in the city streets (chapter 3, p. 87?117), in the workshops (chapter 4, p. 118?161), and in the villa (chapter 5, p. 162?213). Above all, the book examines small and large houses in Pompeii and Herculaneum, the streets of Pompeii, shops and workplaces of Pompeii and Ostia, and villae at the countryside and the seaside.
