1 In the English language alone, there are P. Hunt's Greek and Roman Slavery (2018) and S. Forsdyke's Slavery in Ancient Greece (2021), in addition to K. Vlassopoulos and E. Bathrellou's Greek and Roman Slaveries (2021), the pluralised successor to T. Wiedemann's sourcebook Greek and Roman Slavery (1981).

2 One of very few typographical errors occurs at p. 74, so that Artemidorus is dated to the second century bce.

3 See K. Vlassopoulos, Historicising Ancient Slavery (2021), for a similar call to integrate slavery into the event histories we typically tell.

4 The book was published before exciting new detail came to light following the improved reading of Philodemus’ History of the Academy in a papyrus from Herculaneum. See reports at: https://www.unipi.it/index.php/documenti-ateneo/item/27928.
