What Would Happen to Anti-Slavery Activists in the Roman Empire?
If a minority religious or philosophical group had openly opposed slavery in the Roman Empire, what would likely have happened if they:
- encouraged enslaved people to run away;
- publicly protested or campaigned against slavery;
- persuaded slaveholders to liberate their slaves;
- sheltered escaped slaves;
- or argued that slavery was morally wrong and should be abolished?
