(Scissors/knife marks the spot) Much later, post 'Fall' I think...I think it's in Empires and Barbarians by Heather but my son has stolen my copy and taken it to London. Still searching.
The 'slave market,' raises certain questions. Presumably there was some kind of collection location in the Rome area for such a vast traffic over centuries. One can't imagine that they were just dragged by the thousands willynilly through the streets in slave-trains or fed/sheltered just anywhere. There must have been some kind of approved place for their arrival in the area, and since it would be impossible to sell everyone the day he arrived, their feeding/sheltering before onward sale?
