Identity and stigmatization; the Roman freedman. A qualitative analysis of the socialization and stratification of and the interaction between freed and freeborn Romans. Ghent University

We want to investigate 'status groups' from local Italian municipalities and the relationships between them and compare them with material from Lugdunum. How are power relations, competition and violence connected with 'class' and hierarchy? We will use concepts from P. Bourdieu.
