The development of slavery in the eastern part of the territory of vascones during the High Empire (I-III century a.D.)

Abstract

In this paper we studied the development of slavery during the High Empire in the cities of the eastern part of the territory of the ancient vascones as a way to increase the knowledge of the society that developed in the area. This way, slaves and freedmen are integrated into a strongly hierarchical environment that, possibly, allowed little social promotion, although through their testimonies it is possible to characterize different models of societies that contributed to creating different relationships between individuals.
