“Beautiful place - 2000 years ago life was pretty good.”

indeed. IF you owned a bank and dozens of slaves. This house belongs to one of the elite super-rich of the city, equivalent to one of the houses that Al Gore or the Clintons own.

I hear what you’re saying, but still gotta believe that the slaves at that place figured themselves to be pretty darn lucky.

Nothing has changed - except for big screen TVs.

What I’m impressed with is the level of luxury and comfort that existed 2000 years ago. In other words how advanced they were that long ago.
