The three books under review are a testimony to the increasing interest in the subject of slavery, not only on the part of students and specialists but also the general public. S. Joshel’s monograph Slavery in the Roman world (hereafter SRW) and The Cambridge world history of slavery (hereafter CWHS), a collection of 22 contributions edited by K. Bradley and P. Cartledge, are introductory books aimed at the non-specialist reader or scholar and the university student. Antike Sklaverei, Rückblick und Ausblick (hereafter ASRA) edited by H. Heinen, stands at the other end of the spectrum, being aimed primarily at a scholarly audience with previous knowledge of the subject.
