.....Aw, Marcus, shame you decided to delete the bulk of your post....I did say 'sail close to the wind', not 'step over the mark'! :wink: You should consider restoring it!

PS why is slavery so bad? (HAHAHAHAHAHA here we go again)

..doubtless debated before, but I am of the view that we see the word 'slave' too emotively, thanks to more recent slavery in the new world, and if we equate 'freedom' with 'freedom of choice', when allowing for the different societies, there was not so many differences between 'slaves' in general in Roman Society and workers in our own.

Our idea that we have political'democracy' is a myth for example, with our political systems( at least in the Anglo world) having a lot more in common with the politics of the Roman Republic than most people realise....
