The slaves and the freed persons of a Roman household Familia were legally the ones who were the familia.
一户罗马家庭的奴隶及被释放的自由民,法律上就称为。
When a slave is freed--and in the Ancient World, in the Roman Empire, most slaves were eventually freed, - unless they just died before long-- they became a freed man.
当一名奴隶被释放。。。在古罗马帝国,几乎所有奴隶最终都会被释放,除非他们很早就去世-,成为脱离奴隶身份的人。
So Roman slavery and the freedom of that was actually one way that a few people in the Ancient World recognized some kind of social mobility, which was very rare in the Roman Empire.
所以罗马奴隶制以及奴隶释放制,被古代部分人认为是,某种社会阶级流动,在罗马帝国很少见。
Only in the Roman Empire could slavery actually start being a way that you can move up in society, because you could-- if you were a talented slave, your owner might free you, probably would free you.
只有在罗马帝国,奴隶制可以成为,提高社会地位的手段,因为。。。,如果是一个能干的奴隶,主人可能会释放他,很有可能。
Under him is his sons, his daughters, and then at the bottom are his slaves, and here are his freedmen, freed persons.
接下来是他的儿子女儿,最底层是奴隶,还有被释放的奴隶,即自由人。
And although you were a freedman, - which was lower in status than a free person-- - there were some privileges you couldn't have-- your children would be, if they were born after you'd been freed, would be free people, not freed.
虽然奴隶成为了自由人,自由人的社会地位低于自由民-,有一些权利无法享受-,自由人的孩子,如果是出生于奴隶被释放后的,则会成为自由民,而不是自由人。
When he freed you, if he was a Roman citizen, you would automatically become a Roman citizen also, and your children would be Roman citizens.
只要主人是罗马公民,奴隶被释放后,也能自动成为罗马公民,生下的孩子也会是罗马公民。
But if you're a freedman you're-- the other thing I should tell you is that in Roman law if you're manumitted as a slave, you're made free, if you're manumitted in the normal way they did it, that makes you a Roman citizen, if your owner was a Roman citizen.
但如果你是自由人-,有一点我得解释一下,罗马法律规定,如果奴隶被释放了,如果是正常方法被释放的,他就会成为罗马公民,前提是他的主人是罗马公民。
So rich Romans were often freeing slaves for their own purposes.
所以为了自己利益,有钱人通常会释放奴隶。
So this maintained, even when-- why would a person free a slave?
这一直保留到。。。,为什么主人要释放奴隶?
