Hello,<br>
My group Corbvlo (at www.corbvlo.com ) has a slave-girl and a slave trader as standard personas.<br>
Since the group aims to give a good view of Roman life in all its aspects there was no denying the slavery aspects.<br>
<br>
Her tasks include tablet-weaving, Roman cooking and giving<br>
massages (she's an ex-physiotherapist) but always only at her owners' (the slave-trader) bidding.<br>
She compares herself to a car when explaining herself.<br>
She was a big investment and needs to be fed and maintained<br>
(gas and garage) but she's not allowed to do something on her<br>
own initiative.Just like you expect your car to go left when YOU want it and not in some other direction.<br>
When walking all alone she is freqently asked why isn't running away now.<br>
Her answer to that is: Where do I go? I don't know anybody!<br>
I was born a slave.Why would I want to.I'm cared for in a good house.If I run away I don't have anything left.<br>
This often makes people pause bewildered. And think...<br>
Which was the idea.<br>
<br>
His job as a slave-trader makes him very impopular.<br>
(Which he actually likes)<br>
Because at first he's very friendly and likeable then when asked about his trade he goes in what he calls his "used-car<br>
salesman routine" and tries to sell or buy while still being friendly.<br>
It's very interesting to see how people get disgusted (or try to<br>
sell their mother-in-law)<br>
<br>
Her distinguishing mark is a slave-tag made after one that has been found.Of course her story is that she didn't try to escape<br>
but only got lost.<br>
His "badge of office" is a flagellum-whip, another slave-tag and<br>
on occasion empty stocks.<br>
<br>
There are some reference works on which we based ourselves and I would gladly give you titles and ISBN but the books are<br>
all in German.If that's not a problem just let me know.<br>
<br>
Just wanted to let you know how we work with the subject.<br>
Cheers,<br>
