About
"On the Margin is a reader in minority and marginalized groups in ancient Rome." "Each of the 50 extracts has a brief introduction in English, followed by a passage selected from Cicero, Pliny, Petronius, Seneca, as well as other authors and inscriptions, all of which are made readily accessible by glosses. The book begins by dealing with the family, and then reaches out to the area of the 'other' - those groups on the margin of Roman society: slaves, freedmen, convicts, gladiators, foreigners and Christians. Each passage includes questions designed to stimulate discussion and reflection on these largely under-examined aspects of Roman life."--BOOK JACKET.
