summary:

Thousands of people were trafficked around the Mediterranean as a result of Roman conquest. This article seeks to understand who these people were by examining how an individual's standing in their community determined their experience of military defeat. I argue that socio-legal status was key: enslaved people, as opposed to those of free and especially citizen status, were particularly likely to be seized as captives in the first place, trafficked into slavery as a result of capture, and held in bondage in a new political context. Roman conquest, far from leveling hierarchies in defeated communities, often reproduced existing inequalities.

囚禁所有人？罗马共和国的奴隶地位和战俘

概括：

由于罗马人的征服，数千人在地中海附近被贩运。本文旨在通过研究个人在社区中的地位如何确定他们的军事失败经历来了解这些人是谁。我认为，社会法律地位是关键：与自由和特别是公民身份相反，被奴役的人最有可能首先被俘虏为俘虏，由于被俘而被贩运为奴隶制，并被束缚在新的政治背景下。罗马人的征服并没有使被打败的社区中的等级制度趋于平坦，反而常常重现了现有的不平等现象。
