LIFE AS A SLAVE!! Links: Home page roads colosseum aqueducts weapons of a soldier nero

If you were a roman slave, you probably wouldn't get beaten, but you would have to:
 * Begin your work at dawn
 * Dress your master
 * Walk the children to school
 * clean the villa
 * Wash the clothes
 * tidy up the garden
 * Some slaves would cook
 * If there were more than one, you would carry your master around instead of having him walk
 * You would constantly supply your master with food and drink
 * If your master had a freind over until after dark, the slaves would walk him home

Would you want to be a slave? I wouldn't. You don't get payed, you have almost no rights, and you don't have a freetime to do whatever you wanted. I think being a slave would stink pretty badly. But hey; at least you have a place to live.



so if you were ever to be captured as a slave in ancient Rome... you are screwed.
