Slaves, even if they were like the children of the master of the house, were treated beyond the limits of imagination and description. The slave was sold and bought, used and harmed, killed and thrown away, and there was no deterrent for his master in that. By his command, he would fight with beasts and fight lions to teach the Roman children zeal, and his hands and feet would be cut off if one of the children committed a sin in order to teach them how to punish sinners.
