Research Abstract

The research shifted its focus to the "safety net" function of familia for the freedmen, from the dual workforce providing system of locatio conductio and slavery, because the dual system itself was obvious for Romans and the difference between freedmen and slaves was not significant from the viewpoint of the welfare of the vulnerables. As a result, it was found that, the freedmen stay at their former owner's familia even after their manumission in order to be provided with their maintenance, the duty to provide maintenance was succeeded by the heir of the former owners by will, and the alteration of the maintenance was strictly controlled, especially by the procedure introduced by Marc Aurel.
