Roman Slave Trader Gaiius Fortunatus
Year 5 and 6 were visited by slave trader Gaiius Fortunatus. He told his slaves
(Year 5 and 6) about all the different jobs the slaves did in the time of Ancient Rome.
The kitchen slaves were told
about preparing olives and
about a very smelly fish sauce
made with rotting fish.
The artistic slaves made a
clay head and a mosaic.
Personal slaves had to help their master
get dressed.
Some slaves became soldiers and, if they survived for 25 years, they became
free men.
After a fun afternoon, we felt we had learnt a lot about slavery in Roman times.
