Collar plate for escaped slaves.
The owner’s contact information was written on it.

These kind of collar plates were excavated from various late Roman era sites, but there are no pictures of these collars from during Claudius’ reign, when he greatly loosened the conditions of freedmen.
So it seems in Nero-chan’s time that they didn’t wear them?

As Claudius and Nero-chan both successively gave more rights to slaves, and the rich were the ones writing the history books, it’s understandable…

Being sold.

If they could find good work and be freed, they could start their own business, and apparently there were freedmen that were more successful than Roman citizens.

England and Portugal formed the world’s oldest living alliance with The Windsor Treaty, which is still in effect to this day.

I took the previous photos in this way.

Which reminds me, since I forgot to write about some recommended films, I’ll post them now.

– “Madagascar 2”: A lovely film that will make one cry, laugh, and love all the characters.
　I recommend this film to many people.

– “The Emperor’s New Groove”: An unusual adventure fantasy.
　It’s a Disney movie, and yet I had a feeling the entire time that the two guys would get lovey-dovey. (though the other was a llama)

– “Crazy Series” “Nippon Ichi Series”*
　Truly funny! “Crazy Ougon Sakusen”(Las Vegas Free For All) is this luxury

・”Valerie and Her Week of Wonders”: How come those glasses will endure impossible methods of killing

[T/N: “Nippon Ichi Series” and “Crazy Sakusen Series”: Two series of comedy films released between 1963-71 and created by members of 60s Japanese comedic jazz band Crazy Cats. “Las Vegas Free For All” (1967) is a film from the latter series about three guys who travel from Tokyo to Los Angeles. They then hear about how much money they could win at casinos in Las Vegas and travel there despite the troubles they encounter along the way.]
