| description | This book examines spaces, practices, and ideologies of incarceration in the ancient Mediterranean basin from 300 BCE to 600 BCE . Analyzing a wide range of sources—including legal texts, archaeological findings, documentary evidence, and visual materials—Matthew D. C. Larsen and Mark Letteney argue that prisons were integral to the social, political, and economic fabric of ancient societies. Ancient Mediterranean Incarceration traces a long history of carceral practices, considering ways in which the institution of prison has been fundamentally intertwined with issues of class, ethnicity, gender, and imperialism. By foregrounding the voices and experiences of the imprisoned, Larsen and Letteney demonstrate the extraordinary durability of carceral structures across time and call for a new historical consciousness around contemporary practices of incarceration. “An instant classic and an astonishing resource that will forever change how we think about the history of incarceration.” — Candida Moss, author of God’s Ghostwriters: Enslaved Christians and the Making of the Bible “Larsen and Letteney’s work both uncovers a hidden past and provides a roadmap for historians, criminologists, and practical reformers alike to find, listen to, and recenter too-often silenced voices.” — Keramet Reiter, author of 23/7: Pelican Bay Prison and the Rise of Longterm Solitary Confinement “Larsen and Letteney have given us nothing less than a disturbing new framework for understanding the pervasiveness of institutional violence and social control in classical antiquity.” — Carlos F. Noreña, author of Imperial Ideals in the Roman West: Representation, Circulation, Power |
