Jerzy Władysław Kolendo (9 June 1933, Brześć, Poland – 28 February 2014, Warsaw)[1] was an acknowledged Polish authority on the history and archaeology of Ancient Rome. He was an exponent of the French Annales school, an epigraphist and specialist in the relations between the Barbaricum and the early Roman Empire.

Retirement
In 2003 he notionally retired but remained at the Archaeological Institute in the role of
Polska Akademia Nauk. He continued writing for scientific journals, including, Archeologia, Meander, Dialogues d'histoire ancienne and Palamedes. A Journal of Ancient History.[3]
Jerzy Kolendo was buried at Służew New Cemetery.[5]
Legacy
After
Colonat partiaire in North Africa demonstrates the extent to which it was Rome's granary.[6][7] His work also highlighted the nature of Slavery in ancient Rome. He reasoned that Roman Italy reached a plateau in its agricultural technology, a subject he developed in a monograph published in Italian.[8] This led the eminent French historian Louis Robert to quip that the only people to know about the reasons behind the poor revenues from Roman agricultural estates were Koushchin from Moscow and Kolendo from Warsaw.[6]
Kolendo was esteemed for his teaching: he supervised over forty masters and doctoral theses, among them, the Spaniard Fernando López Pardo, a North African specialist.[6]
