- This is the first monograph worldwide to deal with the subject of disabilities in the Roman Empire. It is the result of ten years study and involvement with the research topic. In this period, Laes built up an international network of colleagues with the same interests. The book challenges modern views on disabilities that are often believed to be self-evident. This synthesis invites readers to look at Roman disabilities in an ad-hoc/ situational context, at the same time taking into the corporeal reality that links people throughout time and space in different cultures.
