By the 1st century AD, about how many slaves were there for every citizen?

tū lībertum habēs? ego quoque lībertum habeō.

“cur tū rīdēs? ego nōn sum laeta!”

coquus et canis in hortō dormiēbant.

Grumiō erat fortis quod leōnem pulsāvit.

fūrēs, postquam vīllam intrāvērunt, ātrium circumspectāverunt.

At the beginning of the story, what where Caecilius and Metella doing?

Look at lines 7-8. To whom was Metella speaking?

Masters could put a slave to death for no reason at all.

Young slaves lived in the same house as their master’s children.
