LIBERTAS — The Completed Introduction

Because it is so important for us to understand the Roman conception of LIBERTAS as we head into our exploration of the early Republic, the Conflict of the Orders, and the articulation of the Roman republican constitution, I’ve made a short(ish) video completing our initial foray into LIBERTAS.

0:00-6:20 Recap the end of class and the 3 modes / conceptions of Liberty. If you feel that made good sense, then feel free to skip or skim this windup.

6:21–15:59: This is the key section, which completes our introduction to LIBERTAS.

16:00–19:52: a teaser about next week, as well as beginning to think the category of liberty or formerly enslaved people in Rome (“freedmen/women”).

I encourage everyone to watch it in toto but if you’re time constrained then definitely Section B, Section C, if at all possible; and Section A if you need a recap.
