The influence of Apollo. Don';t count grandfather out yet
-
I think to be a member of the Senate you had to reside in Rome, Lucinius didn't reside in Rome
-
If Lucinius has his way, he will move

I'm, sure they inherited some pointers from the Greek. It ws not uncommon to have sex with slaves.

Expanding is alway an option. I think there is unoccupied land surrounding the Villa

What are you thinking?” “Tomorrow we’ll celebrate our birthdays. I’ll be twenty-three. It seems so long ago when we first arrived at the Villa. So much has happened.” “We have a lot to be thankful for. I’ll be twenty-five. You know it’s nice that we all celebrate our birthdays on the same day. The boys, I mean men, I’m so used to calling them boys that I forgot they have grown since that first day we brought them to the Villa.” “Yes, they are men; we have prospered with their help

Yes, they seem top be getting settled

I will ask him but I have a feeling they are fed the the chafes from the wheat and oats, probably some left overs from the kitchen, and with all of that manure, I'm sure it is being plowed back into the soil for the gardens. But let me check

You are right. I'm always amazed when you give someone credit for doing something to further thee whole, they gain confidence and recognition. To bad that Duccius and the like didn't recognize this.
-
I couldn't find any references to dogs when I investigated this time period. I'm sure there were some form of wolf but again when I researched this time period, nothing came up.
-
Yes, you are correct. I think it is amazing that these boys look upon the Villa as home. As such they go out of the way to assume ownership and work to make the Villa better.
-
Thanks, I think you summed that up pretty well. The moral being, when one puts aside their own greed and strives to share with their friends, positive results occur. Someone once said, No man knows everything. Unfortunately there are men from the days of Rome until today that think they know it all

It was battle scared but by the size of the ruins of the Villa, Lucinius knew it must have been successful before the war, and he was right.

Life on the Villa seemed to follow the previous years, the animal sheds now represented a significant construction project, or so it seemed. My hunters were bringing back live animals. We now added deer to our Villa. They captured a young deer, Curzio took care of it, feeding it whey from when we made cheese. I wondered what they were going to do with it when it was full grown. Being a male, it will not be complacent about being in one of the animal cages. “Aumen, have you been to the anima

It is obvious that the food they vendor sell, isn't top quality. ie. wine sold was first press is actually second press.
-
Yes, they won't be angry long.
-
I think he is. Celia prayed to Apollo for a son just the opposite of Duccius. I'm sure she didn't dally around. Appias would have killed her if she did. She is too smart.
-
There is no reason for Lucinius tontine the other Villa. He is perfectly happy where he is. I have. a feeling his Villa iOS superior to his grandfathers in the south.,
-
This is scroll 3 there are two more, so.....
-
Duccius undertands that he will inherit Appias estate in Rome. He wants his brother to inherit the villa in the south. I wouldn't be surprised if he pushes Lucinius to take the villa in the South and then he would take the Villa that Lucinius now owns. He likes the hunting.
-
Actually, Appias does accept it, his pride wouldn't allow him to accept it from Lucinius. Roman law the estate would pass to Appias. The only way that Appias would accept anything from Lucinius is if he, Appias, demanded it or use took its he did when he visited Lucinius at his Villa.

We arrived in the morning. The sun had started to travel across the sky. Felix was cleaning up the kitchen from breakfast when one of the boys told him we were arriving. It was nice to see the boys welcoming us home and Felix with dishes of freshly prepared eggs, fresh-baked bread, and fruit. “Felix, this bread tastes different. What did you do?” “Sir, since we added herbs to the cheese, I added herbs to the bread.” “It’s delicious, and maybe we should sell bread in the city.”

Yes, I can imagine what you would be thinking . I'm only human.

The roman late at the time the eldest son inherited the father's estate. The women, couldn't inherit anything. it was a man's world. In the car of grandfathers, Appias would inherit the villa in the south and since Celia's father had bio sons, he could leave not to anyone he wanted anyone who is male. My guess he would leave it to Lucinius. So ion Appias dies, and he is living in the3 Southern Villa, Duccius would inherit

You got that right, It's an old adage but so true. To bad Appias never know this
