DESCRIPTION:With author Boudewijn Sirks (All Souls College)\nDiscussants: 
 Bryan Ward-Perkins (Trinity College\, Oxford) and Yann Rivière (EHESS\, P
 aris)\nConvenor: Soazick Kerneis (MFO)\n\nIn the fourth and fifth century 
 there are people in the Roman empire who are bound to a particular estate 
 in the sense that the estate owner can recall them and impose services. Th
 eir status\, called the colonate\, is low. Often it is assumed to have bee
 n widespread or even a general feature of a general change in agricultural
  exploitation. Various theories about its cause have been formulated: chro
 nic indebtedness of farmers\, fiscal reorganisations\, emergence of large 
 estates. However\, already in the middle of the third century in Egypt a s
 imilar but private law contract existed\, the paramonè. The insertion int
 o the census of an estate under Diocletian gave it a public law aspect\, m
 aking the estate owner now the contract partner. It implied a change in st
 atus for the colonus. It was consequently never a general phenomenon.\nSpe
