I've recently read"The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years that Shook the World" and want to hear what all of you think the answer is, because I feel like the book was missing something in its thesis and I am not very sure what that is.

i've never heard that roman pottery production was a slave enterprise. i mean it's roman so there's bound to be some but i hadn't read it like as a defining characteristic, like quarries, galleys, or latifundia. what's the source?

Mostly going off of Jones' 2 volume work on the later empire. Slavery basically permeates every pore of Roman society, especially in production.
