In the main part of the building, it's striking 1 how open and visible everything is. If you want to find where the slaves are, where the people who do the real work, you've got to go around the corner to the invisible beats and know no eye wants to come in this part of the house. It's strange sort of dogleg, suddenly we've lost all the beautiful decoration, we are down to walls with, if they're plastered 3, these walls are plastered. It's very very plain plaster 2, there is no color on it. And over here, we have a series of rooms, so they're evidently service rooms. Through that there is a stable, and they found a cart and various agricultural instruments in it. In here, a sort of service rooms. And it's in these that the slaves must live and work. 


 
Sometimes, a slave can rise to a position of importance in the household. He may even be given his freedom, and possibly remain a member of his old master's staff, living out his life as a respected figure. But that doesn't happen for this man. It's likely he is simply valued as property. We know about him only because of the way he dies. His body is found with another old man's.
