Re; Slaves

You may recall that the Roman Senate contemplated establishing a service uniform that slaves would be required to wear - the striped convict attire of the 1930s being the same idea for the same reason.  The motion did not carry, because “it would not be wise to allow slaves to perceive how numerous they are.”
