Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Because Hades is not only the patron saint of the Kingdom of Dionysia, but also the patron saint of slaves. It needs its blessing to recover from freedom as soon as possible, and the long period of time gradually wiped out the hatred in their hearts and began to turn. There was a touch of affection for King Dionysia who had defeated them, not only because he was a descendant of Hades, but the lives of public slaves under his rule were indeed better than their former slaves of city-states and races. Much more, so most of this cheering comes from the heart

"Thank you, the leader of our camp, Icarus!" the middle-aged chef reminded again.

This time the cheers were obviously much smaller, but it was still able to make Akarus, the head of the Turri slave camp who had just entered the kitchen to check the breakfast improvement, clearly hear.

A smile appeared on his face involuntarily, turned around and asked the entourage: "What's the name of this chef?"

"Adult, his name is Isnicas, from Asia Minor. He used to be a slave for four years in the restaurant Christoya in the outer city of Turij. Later he was freed and became a reserve citizen. He was recruited to work as a chef here. It’s been more than two years..." The follower who spoke was the archivist of the slave camp, and naturally it was like a treasure.The reason why Ecarus had to bring him with him when he inspected the canteen was because if he found that the chefs of the canteen did not carry out his request well, the severest punishment was to write them down on their files. In one stroke, this will have a greater impact on their smooth transition to full citizenship or freedom in the future.

But at the moment, Ecarus said in a deep voice: "Well, he knows how to promote His Majesty's benevolence, and he is doing very well, so he can make a note for him."

What he said at this time "marked up" obviously refers to a good evaluation. The recorder, who is also a citizen of origin, looked at the middle-aged chef in the distance with some envy, and whispered: "Yes, adult."

The main reason why many free citizens and reserve citizens choose to work in low-paying public offices or even hired workers in various city halls or departments is that it is easy to obtain merits and become citizens of the Kingdom at an early date.

Departments such as slave camps are not as splendid as other administrative departments, and their highest rank is junior administrative duties. There are not many official officials under their jurisdiction. Even the troops guarding slaves and patrolling camps are sent in turn from nearby military camps. Not under the jurisdiction of the slave camp.But because of this, the bottom public offices and employees in slave camps are more likely to be valued and more likely to make achievements. There are many candidates, but unfortunately camps often prefer to recruit people from liberated slaves.

Regardless of an order from Davos, the head of the slave camp, Ekarus, was so nervous that the slaves sat in the cafeteria and happily ate a breakfast that was much richer than usual.

The former Roman aristocracy and now the slave of the Kingdom of Dionysia, Camus Fabius Vibranus, sat quietly in the corner chewing bread and drinking broth.

He was not as lucky as the Roman soldiers who had surrendered in Sutnikum because of the plague. He was captured when the Roman army rescued the city of Gabi, although a Roman veteran like Pulbius had The Senate of Dionynia proposed that "Roman soldiers captured in the entire Western Mediterranean War should also be free", but this proposal has not been passed. They were the first Roman soldiers to become slaves to the kingdom, and they also fought several times. However, after suffering relentless repression, they had to accept the cruel reality, and became numb and submissive under the education of long and heavy manual labor and leather whip, just like the Camus of the Roman clan. Eating breakfast with the same joy as other slaves.

At this time, someone sat down next to him.

He glanced up and then said happily, "Masims, are you ill?!"

Massimus was also a former Roman nobleman, but he was not captured in battle, but was captured when the Roman city was broken, trying to take his family to escape to Mount Capitolin. He and single Camus Differently, his family is all slaves of the kingdom, so he does not live in a collective slave dormitory, but is allocated a simple hut, but in this way, he needs to pay extra housing costs, the burden is heavier than Camus .

"After seeing the doctor and taking the medicine for two days, it is all right." Massims said.

Public princes are the wealth of the kingdom, and most of them are engaged in heavy manual labor, and the diet is not as good as ordinary people. Sickness and injuries are very common. Therefore, there are special hospitals in the camp. Come on duty to ensure the health of the slaves. Although they have less money and live a lot, because they can contact a large number of patients, internship doctors often scramble to come.

After listening to it, Camus said happily: "That's great! You haven't been in these days. The foreman has arranged the work that our team is going to do. Everyone is not doing well, and we are looking forward to your recovery soon!"

Suddenly, Maximus asked in a low voice, "Aren't you messing up?"

"Where do we dare to mess up, at most complaining." Camus murmured.

“It’s not good to complain! Have you forgotten what happened to Brutus before! Besides, you have been doing well before, and when this big project is completed, we will definitely get more rewards, and we will start from next year’s celebration. Being able to get a free place every year, so don’t cause the foreman to be jealous because of the momentary refreshment of the picture, it will destroy all our previous efforts!" Masim warned seriously.

The "teaching of Brutus and others" he mentioned refers to the two riots caused by the Romans in the Turri slave camp in the past few years. Afterwards, there was a proposal by the veteran Dionia: Roman slaves were not subject to discipline. Also making trouble, Turui is the center of the kingdom. In order to avoid any accidents and destabilize Turrii, Roman slaves should be moved out of Turrii’s slave camps and scattered away from Turii. In slave camps in other towns.

Due to the strong obstruction of Publius, it was not completely passed in the end, leaving a small number of Roman slaves who were not involved in the riots and were usually more peaceful. Publius also specially sent people to the camp and repeatedly warned the remaining Roman slaves: Among all the slave camps in the Kingdom of Dionysia, Turiri’s camp is the place with the best treatment and the easiest way to make contributions (because Turiri is the center of the kingdom, the supervision is very strong, and the camp managers generally dare not In the chaos, like some slave camps in remote areas, such as Sardinia, there are slaves who die in the mine every month, and the poor conditions can be imagined), if you want to get healthy early To be free, it’s best to be safe here!

"We are really doing a good job these days! There are more stones each day than the other teams!" Camus swears while watching the foreman patrolling the canteen while swearing and hating Hate whispered: "If he dare to underreport our team's results, I will go to the Baomin official!"

The maximum number of slaves in Turri’s slave camp was as high as tens of thousands. There are now nearly 10,000. To better manage and appease them, and to supervise the officials in the camp, there are also separate security officers in the camp.After the riots in the camp a few years ago, the number of public security officers was increased, mostly by slave-born Dionysian citizens.

"Don't talk much, hurry up after dinner and work up the mountain!" Massim reminded.

It didn't take long for him to finish his words, and he heard the foremen urging loudly.

The two ate the breakfast gorgingly and even picked up the bread crumbs that fell on the table. If they wouldn’t do it a few years ago, the difficult environment changed them.

When they hurried out of the cafeteria, a large number of slaves hurried in line. The time schedule was so tight that the thousands of slaves in the camp could finish breakfast in a short period of time and work in time.

The last batch of female slaves and children who entered the canteen were not many, and they were less than a thousand. After all, kingdom slaves and private slaves are different. Most of them are engaged in heavy manual labor, and the main need is male slaves. In the Western Mediterranean War a few years ago, Dionia caught many captives with their families, most of them Romans, Latins, and Phoenicians.

According to the provisions on slaves in the Law of Dionysia, inhumane slave families are not allowed to be forcibly separated and resold separately.And Dionysia also forbids the union of male and female slaves to which the kingdom belongs, because family-owned slaves are naturally more secure and more ambitious, which is conducive to the stability of slave camps.

Of course, these female slaves have to work no matter whether they have a family or not. They work as kitchen helpers, sew up slave clothes, assist in the purchase of food, serve as salesmen in the shops of slave camps, and even are sent to work as temporary workers.

Because there are more men and fewer women in the camp, in order to prevent them from being harassed and violated, there are strict regulations on this in the Slave Law. Whether it is male slaves, or officials and employees in the camp, violations will be severely punished, so such bad behavior The Turui camp was almost extinct, and it also allowed male slaves with families to leave their families and work outside.

In the middle of the slave camp, there is a simple square. This rammed, very flat grass is not only used to gather slaves and announce some announcements, but also a place for slaves to play and compete in leisure.

On the side of the square are a few large black wooden boards, with white pens written on slaves and bulletins, and some "employment required" messages from the camp.As public servants, their usual work is mainly responsible for the construction and maintenance of public works, such as temples, bridges, roads..., and the mining of public mines.
