At work.

Uhm.... no? Roman slaves did not 'Have it better'*.

* I add the caveat that modern society has a HUGE variety of socioeconomic forms and that yes (Under specifics) there are some people who in some terms and cases are, if not worse off, perhapse on par with those slaves of Roman times.

As for language/knowledge transmission?  Please look up Proffessor Lyn Kelly's book "The Memory Code".  Very edifying in showing the different methods some ancient people used to pass on information as well as remember oodles of stuff.

Cmon man, better, on par. Isn't it a bit anal to pick out the tiniest little detail that could be seperated by only a dollar.
A Roman slave from 50BC was paid differnt to the slave from 300AD. I don't remember which one was better off but.
if I get the worse off employee today and the best off Roman slave I think the slave is better off.
The slave also was provided accomodation and food i think. A season pass to the Colossium... Lovely... LoL

Its all moving away from my point which is there was no word for employee back then and most people are slaves to society today anyway.

Nope, I'm going to continue to disagree with your comparison of slavery under Romans and modern, western work practices/ethics.

Also I would quite like some one with an ancient knowledge bent to join the thread such as to give those reading some good knowledge about such things as workers, payments etc.

Also, please look up Prof Lyn's book. Is a good read.
