re: Spartacus: War of the Damned Season Long Thread.

Like I said, look at the Gauls and Germans, how they treated their slaves. No one had clean hands.

Then there were the wicker cages. Not all slaves were treated like Spartacus. They could and did manage finances for the master. They could marry and hold property. When they were freed, they became a client of the master. Some even married them. Cato the Censor married his. hence the prejudice towards the younger Cato.
