Suddenly I woke up. When I wake up I turn the fire under the house which is used to heat up the house. Today I am allowed to practice my religion so once I finish warming up the house I ask the doorman permission to leave. I walk through the city until I am near the Christian temple. Then I made sure no one was looking and I entered the temple. Since Nero, the Emperor of Rome, prosecutes Christians, Christians, like me, have to hide. When I’m done I quickly leave and run home since my master will awake soon.
When I arrive home, I go check on my master to see if he has woken up. He has already finished taking his shower so I enter his room and bow down to him and greet him. I help him get dressed and bring him downstairs where the rest of his family is waiting for breakfast. All the slaves wait for them to finish eating breakfast so that they can eat. We slaves eat the leftovers of the family which is not much for the number of people we are.
Now it is time for our chores. I am the person who helps the people family since I am the youngest slave. After 2 hours of working around the house I go help in the kitchen where I am given a grocery shopping list. I walk to the forum in the center of the city and buy meat and other food.
When I return home I realize that I forgot to get oil so I go back to the marketplace and buy it, since it’s needed for lunch. On my way to my master’s house I smell something burning but I continue home. When I get home I give the final ingredient to the chef who finishes cooking I serve the dinner to my master. The lunch prepared is: a clam as a starter and the main course is pork with mushrooms. While waiting for the master to finish I smell a something burning again, this time stronger.
After the master and his wife and children finish all the slaves eat the leftovers. This time I don’t get any leftovers from the table so I go steal something from the kitchen. From the kitchen I take a glance outside the window and see flames. I run into the dining room and alert the master that there is a fire outside. The master looks out a window and sees the fire burning the streets and buildings. Soon our house catches fire. I run out of the house to see the whole city on fire. I run as fast as I can without knowing where to go. Then an Idea comes to my mind. I keep running this time in the other direction. Until I arrive at the colloseum which as I expected is empty. I enter the Coloseum.
