On the Treatment of Slaves
"Soon afterwards the City Prefect,
Lucius Pedanius Secundus, was
murdered by one of his slaves. After
the murder, ancient custom
required that every slave residing
under the same roof must be
executed. But a crowd gathered,
eager to save so many innocent
lives; and rioting began. The
senate-house was besieged. Inside,
there was feeling against excessive
severity, but the majority opposed
any change (....) [The senators)
favouring execution prevailed.
However, great crowds ready with
stones and torches prevented the
order from being carried out. Nero
rebuked the population by edict,
and lined with troops the whole
route along which those
condemned were taken for
execution.'
