Selbstversklavung im klassischen römischen Recht
Abstract
Aside from being born as a slave or being enslaved during war, classical legal sources recognize other cases in which it was no longer possible to regain at least freedom. One of these cases was sale for the purpose of participating in the purchase price. This volume examines whether and how free individuals could enslave themselves, offering a legal and social-historical perspective on the ancient sources.
