Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 8 Troubled times

He protects the safety of all children, slaves, emancipated slaves, and tenant farmers in the family, and they are a kind of protection and protection.

When these clients encounter difficulties, such as financial difficulties, legal disputes, the asylum owner should help them tide over the difficulties.

When the asylum owner encounters difficulties, these clients should also provide all kinds of help. In addition to this, there is also the political aspect. These gatekeepers must unconditionally agree with the protector politically.

They have to support whoever the asylum asks them to support.

Up to now, the door-goer system still exists, and all free slaves automatically become the door-goers of the original slave owners.

This kind of relationship is extremely complicated and can even be hereditary.

The left and right Rabinus, whom Caesar trusted the most, betrayed Caesar during the civil war with Pompey and took refuge in Pompey.

The reason is that his family has been tenants (door visitors) of the Pompey family for generations, which shows how strong this relationship is.

In the war between Sura and Qinna, Pompey raised the strength of three legions at a time, relying on his tenants (gatekeepers).

This relationship between protection and being protected can even extend to the powerful and a kingdom.

In the third Punic War, Little Scipia, who wiped out Carthage, formed a relationship of protection and protection with the Kingdom of Numidia.

Little Scipio wants to fully understand the idea of ​​the King of Numidia, and the Senate and the Citizens’ Assembly in Rome oppose all resolutions that are not conducive to the Kingdom of Numidia, and support resolutions that are beneficial to the Kingdom of Numidia.

It is also necessary to provide the kingdom of Numidia with all kinds of Roman news, which becomes a special link between Numidia and Rome.

The Kingdom of Numidia will also provide all kinds of support to Little Scipia, whether it is financial or military support. Later, due to the death of Little Scipia and the King of Numidia, the bond was invalidated, and the kingdoms of Rome and Numidia The famous Jugurda War broke out between.

At the moment those gladiators became liberated slaves and were released, Li Wei gave them the clan name of Bosius.

For example, Carus, he can use Levi’s name Lucius and his clan name Bosius, plus his surname, so that Carus’s Roman name is Lucius Boss. Carus, this embodies the inseparable protection and protection connection between them and the Levy family.

As long as he can penetrate all aspects of Capua’s industry and have a large number of customers, then he will have a huge influence in Capua.

After all, the Capua administrator and the senators of the Senate were all elected, and even the great dictator Sura would hold an arena competition to please the Roman citizens. These administrators are a shit.

“Are there too many guards in 2000?”

Getta said with a shocked look.

“not much!”

Li Wei shook his head and said, 2000 guards are not many at all.

Rome has been in turmoil over the years, mainly because of the two people, Mario and Sula.

The relationship between the two can be described as a sea of ​​hatred. Since Mario’s military reforms, Rome has become wary.

First, more than a million Germanic barbarians moved south, and the number of soldiers alone reached 300,000. The Romans and Germans were beaten in darkness and blood was flowing. Rome finally defeated the two Germanic tribes.

Then came the Confederate War among many tribes in Rome in order to obtain Roman citizenship. The whole of Rome was divided into two parts, and both sides played out their brains.

Later, the conflict between Sura and Mario broke out. Sura ran back to the Capua garrison and cried, and finally dragged his men into Rome and drove Mario out.

At this time something major happened in the East. The Greeks had rebellious intentions. The King of Pontus slaughtered the local Romans. Sura personally conquered the East. Mallor, Qinna, and Capo immediately took the opportunity to return and retake Rome. The massacre of days and nights really caused heads and blood to flow.

This includes a large number of civilians, elders, knights, and even consuls and protectors. The reason is simply because they failed to stop Sura’s proposal.

Even the relatives of Mario and the two uncles of Caesar the Great were also ordered to be killed by Mario. It was really crazy to the extreme.

But soon Mallor died, leaving a mess.

Li Wei traveled through this period of time, but he knew it was not over yet, it was just the beginning.

After Sura calmed down the war in the East, after returning to Rome, he fought against Mallor’s allies Qinna and Capo, and finally succeeded in occupying Rome.

Sura immediately copied the scene of Mallor’s back then, and his massacre was even more tragic than Mallor’s.

A total of more than 130 veterans and 2,600 knights died at the hands of Su Wei and Mario, and 300 veterans were almost half killed by them.

Is this over?

Never finished!

There was not only the Spartan uprising, but also the battle between Caesar and Pompey, and the battle between Antony and Octavian.

This is only a major war that took place in Italy, not some small-scale wars and other Roman provinces and foreign countries.

Because there were too many wars in Rome, a famous Roman historian also wrote two thick “Civil Wars”.

Li Wei sighed long when he thought of this.

It’s not good to fight and kill. Isn’t it good for everyone to sit down and make small money together?

“In addition, we also want a huge castle, a huge castle that can accommodate hundreds of people for production and work and nearly 10,000 people.”

Li Wei said.

“This requires a lot of money, and a lot of land around is not ours, we don’t have enough land.”

Gaeta said.

“Don’t worry about the money issue, we will have more and more money. What we have to do is find a way to buy the surrounding land, this matter is left to Yulia.”

Li Wei said.

“Ok.”

Yulia took this matter to heart.

Capua is located in the Campania region, where the land is fertile and springs all year round, with a plain that is rare in Italy.

The entire Capua has a population of about 100,000, which is a rare big city.

Enter Arbon Avenue, which divides Capua in two halves, and then turn to the labor market.

This is a very noisy place, and Capua people in various short clothes are waiting for employment.

Since the Punic War with Carthage, Roman nobles and knights have become more and more wealthy.

They are like ancient Chinese, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is full of love for land and invested a lot of money in the purchase of land.

Once encountering natural and man-made disasters, those Roman citizens had to sell their land.

Therefore, the land in the hands of the Roman civilians is getting less and less, but the nobles and knights still like to use slaves. After all, slaves don’t need to pay for them.

So Roman citizens are in tragedy, more and more Roman citizens go bankrupt, and even tenant farmers can’t do it.

Throughout the entire Roman Republic for hundreds of years, it has never been able to form a class of tenant peasants like China.

Therefore, there was the reform of the Gracchu brothers, but the reform failed.

Although the nobles made some concessions, and Mario also carried out military reforms and absorbed some poor people into the army, the fundamental problem could not be solved for more and more bankrupt army.

Just when Geta came here with a few people, one of them surrounded him.

“Do you need someone to work? I can be a carpenter, and I can also farm land and raise cattle.”
