Zusammenfassung:During the transition from Republic to Empire, the Roman aristocracy adapted traditional values to accommodate the advent of monarchy. Freed Slaves and Roman Imperial Culture examines the ways in which members of the elite appropriated strategies from freed slaves to negotiate their relationship to the princeps and to redefine measures of individual progress.

Through this process, former slaves exerted a profound influence on the transformation of aristocratic values at a critical moment in Roman history
