Rome: A Slave Society
Slavery pervades the Roman world it pervades literature social interactions and so forth. The subvitium is the slavery of love if you look at how rather posh Roman senators write letters to the Roman Emperor. They regularly address him as dominance which is the same word that you'd use for the master of a slave. Slavery just gets into all the cracks of Roman culture provides a way of thinking about hierarchy etc.
