The project behind this book is truly fascinating and can serve as an example for successful cooperation in a multi-disciplinary approach to a complex phenomenon. Our understanding of the legal backgrounds, the historical development, but also the economic, social and cultural framework that the freedmen and -women without Roman citizenship encountered will clearly be enriched through the presented interdisciplinary research into all of the available source types.--Kaja Harter-Uibopuu, Universit�t Hamburg This excellent book offers fresh insights into the so-called 'black hole' of Junian Latinity in Roman society created by Augustus' social legislation, with due attention to its history and survival down to late antiquity, based on a review of the legal and literary evidence and some fascinating case-studies.--Jean-Jacques Aubert, University of Neuch�tel
