In addition to publishing their research and the project results in print and on-line media, the team members have also regularly presented the findings of individual aspects of their work on Roman child slavery to other academics and the public, at conferences, workshops and seminars as well as on other public occasions. Recent and forthcoming publications and presentations analyse evidence for child sexual abuse in Roman slavery and the trafficking of minors in the Roman world. A selection of the presented and published research arising from the project is given below. (For the team members’ full publication lists, follow the respective links on the ‘Project team‘-page.)
