My impression is that ancient Roman society was extremely stratified, and ~20% of the population were slaves, so if the book is "set" in ancient Rome, it's pretty relevant.
@Ben Weinstein-Raun I kinda agree but at the same time, IDK, I guess I feel like it's treated the same way as "having employees". Like the story talks about this family and drops that they have a hundred slaves, which seems like a lot?
