Title: | Slaves in Lusitania: identity, demography and social relations | Authors: | Curchin, Leonard A. | Keywords: | demografía;epigrafía;esclavitud;familia;Hispania;inscripciones;Lusitania;relaciones sociales;demography;epigraphy;family;Hispania;inscriptions;Lusitania;slavery;social relations | Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Abstract: | Se presenta un análisis de las inscripciones lusitanas que mencionan
los esclavos, limitado necesariamente a personas identificadas
de manera explícita como servi o similares. Una proporción
bastante más alta de esclavos masculinos refleja tanto un énfasis
en el labor físico como una posible exposición de vernae femeninas.
Según las edades atestiguadas, muchos esclavos habrían
muerto como jóvenes, pero esta documentación no incluye esclavos
manumitidos. Además, las inscripciones proporcionan informes
interesantes sobre las relaciones de esclavos con sus padres,
sus dueños y sus cónyuges. An analysis is made of inscriptions from Lusitania naming slaves, which is necessarily limited to persons explicitly identified as servi or the like. A substantially higher proportion of male slaves reflects not only an emphasis on physical labour, but also the possible exposure of female vernae. Although recorded ages suggest that many slaves died young, the evidence does not include those who were manumitted. Finally, the inscriptions provide interesting information about relations between slaves and their parents, owners and partners. |
