I caught the latest episode last night, and I have a question for anyone in the know. Without giving out a spoiler about the episode, I was just wondering what the penalty was for killing another person's slave during the time of the late republic. If I recall correctly, a person could kill his own slaves, but if someone else did it, didn't he have to pay the equivalent value of that dead slave to the owner?
They didn't consider it as serious as murdering a citizen...right?
