dc.description.abstractThe ability of the enslaved to act for their benefit despite the constraints, or agency, during the Late Roman Republic within the city of Rome is an under-researched topic. However, clues in ancient literary and epigraphical sources suggest a link between the enslaved and freed, the associations, collegia, and Clodius. Investigating these connections raises questions about the nature of the relationship between enslaved people and slaveholders, as well as how political figures, specifically Clodius, could impact the agency of the enslaved people within associations. Furthermore, these questions shed new light on Cicero’s account of his rival Clodius’ career, such as his involvement in the Compitalia festival. The rivalry between factions during the Late Republic allowed a privileged few enslaved to secure their agency. With the end of the republic, the enslaved people's agency shifted from the associations to the imperial cult.
