Document Details : Title: La evolución de la esclavitud en Hispania en el contexto del Mediterráneo de los ss. III-I a.C. Author(s): BLANCO-ROBLES, Fernando Journal: Latomus Volume: 84 Issue: 2 Date: 2025 Pages: 217-243 DOI: 10.2143/LAT.84.2.3294645 Abstract : This article studies the evolution of slavery in Hispania, from its pre-Roman forms (Phoenician-Punic and indigenous) to the adaptation and imposition of the Roman model of slavery, which was the definite hegemony, in a chronological framework that spans from the 3rd to the 1st century B.C. It also discusses the origin of Roman slavery in the Iberian Peninsula and its formation process. The conclusion explains that it is possible to document indications of the existence and knowledge of private slavery among pre-Roman peoples (Phoenician-Punic and indigenous) for those centuries but on a minimal scale. With the establishment of Rome, its numbers and expansion reached their maximum development. They spread throughout Hispania, linked, however, not to the process of conquest, but to colonisation and Romanisation. |
