[gothic-l] Romans and Goths - Slavery vs. Freedom

[Bertil Haggman]

My answer to the question below is no. Can you
maybe provide the list with some information
on of Ostrogothic slaveholders in Italy.
Please note that this is a Gothic list. There are
a good number of Viking lists you could join to
discuss Viking slavery.
