One more bit of proof of slavery in Ireland. The history written by the 13th century Welsh monk Giraldus Cambrensis who mentions how slavery was still common in the Ireland of his day.

First, the Roman writer Cicero stated "we Romans rule the world, but our women rule us!" Also,the Roman Empress Livia ran the Roman empire from 9-14AD. when her husband Augustus was ill. This & the Roman law codes prove Mr.McNabb's comments to be total nonsense. As I stated, the Greeks & Romans did not sell their women
into slavery.

While socalled celtic folks like the Irish were selling their women into slavery to the Vikings & each other as late as Saint Malachi's era. I believe Carmel McCaffrey's book "Ancient Ireland" mentions these facts as well as debunking the Irish being Celts? Lastly, Donnchadh O'Corrain
also stated the Irish are at best only partially Celtic since their is no proof of an invasion of Ire. by the Celts. As for Patrick his chastising the Irish for their selling their women was on a documentary on History International.

Try reading any biography books on St. Malachy & Patrick & see for yourself that especially during the Viking era
they did sell their women into slavery.

Where is your proof that the Romans sold their women into slavery, or were just chattel???

to Mr Guardlala

I'd be interested to know the actual references where St Patrick et al admonish the Irish for selling "their" women into slavery. They took slaves, sold them on, much in the way the Greeks & Romans did and this is what the church chastised them for. You give teh imporession that they sold their own wives and daughter into slavery, can you lay out some facts to prove this?

Celtic women were far more free than Roman counterparts who were mere chattles of their menfolk.
