Rome, winter of the year 46 AD. A brutal murderess rages on slaves from the House of Publius Aurelius. It is a cruel killer, highly intelligent, ruthless. His favorite targets are homosexuals, but from time to time, does not disdain even the victims heterosexual. Called to investigate, the only clues that Publio Aurelio can collect at the crime scene were bloody footprint in the shape of curl and a pawn of latrunculi, the ancient Roman chess. Very little sense for a motive, follow a trail, identify a culprit. Publius Aurelius, however, has no choice: he must play all out and unmask the murderess before they come back a hit once again. In this episode
Publio Aurelio shows great attachment to the slaves living in his house, he sacrifices himself for them and even get to dress up and go to work in difficult conditions just to get the killer.
It 's very touching that the consideration is made about the relationship between masters and slaves of long ago where they spent their whole lives together and we came to create an almost familial relationship between servants and their master. At the time of Aurelius, however, slaves are bought and sold continuously, and this leads to a total value of the impersonality and lack of attachment between one and other. In short, the Comastri Montanari is a parallel with the current world of work in which labor relations are reduced to mere collaboration, mere contracts "do ut des" without soul.
But back to our story, after evaluating thousands of different possibilities, of course, our senator will come to a conclusion. Very interesting love-hate relationship with his new slave, Delia, rebellious and independent woman. And what about single? The new gardener terror of all the beds? Finally in this adventure
Phaedrus also meet and attend a public reading of his stories, read the proposal and sponsored by the same Senator Statius.
