Slavery in Ancient Mesopotamia as social phenomenon.
PAROBKOVÁ, Ivana
The main purpose of this work is to investigate the phenomenon of slavery in ancient Mesopotamia from different perspectives. Concrete research of the phenomenon opens with a description of the territory and the historical background in which all events take place. The first aspect is slavery in the context of social structure. There are also depicted causes of this phenomenon, and then slavery is subjected to exploration in various legislative sources. The social structure is divided into three groups, which influence each other and in the context of which there is some limited mobility. The slavery might have been caused by a set of socio-economic factors. For a complete rendering of that phenomenon, the work shows the development of the law, in which stringent rules are released and slaves often achieve a better position than free citizens.
