@caitlinrgreen @morangles @medievalhistory so we can say that the slavery was more worse under christianity than under pagan Romans.
@Archatgs @morangles well, *if* shackles correlate with it, peak is in late pagan era, halves under Christian emperors... Tho' note distrib!
@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs @medievalhistory Franks were hypocrites granting slaves to monasteries offering castration services in Verdun
@caitlinrgreen @morangles @medievalhistory this is a big surprise, it does not touch only the Carolingians, but the papacy too.
@Archatgs @caitlinrgreen @medievalhistory papacy+ Venetians + Byzantines slavery as the dirty business official History books do not mention
@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs @medievalhistory Carolingians have a lot to answer to
@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs @medievalhistory leaving Jews the horrible responsibility of slave traders w/Andalus thus marking them as 'evil'
@caitlinrgreen @Archatgs @medievalhistory writing laws as Xians could not be slaves so creating the word slaves out of Slavic people worse
