What an interesting document. Vegetus, slave of a slave of the emperor. The bill of sale seems to provide him with a level of insurance in case other claims of ownership are made regarding the non-wandering Fortunata. London life!
Indeed. One of the most interesting insular documents :)
I can almost hear it. "Well, if we're all owned by other slaves, why don't we just give everyone freedom?" This could be a Monty Pythonesque moment!
An interesting idea! Lol!
A slave of a slave of a slave, the lowest status in Roman Britain?
I suspect not! The ultimate owner was, in fact, the emperor...!
Fascinating "chain". No change then, we're still #slaves of slaves of saves. Each rung "up" feeling some puff of ego from having a slave, yet equally still bowing and cowering to their bank/landlord/boss/lord/HMRC/king.
So.. slaves all the way down?
Poor Fortunata - ironically named.
what a curious script!
