One of my recent posts, "Choosing and buying a slave in ancient Rome" prompted the talented artist, Pote,who specialises in BDSM drawings, to make his own visual interpretation of my post which resulted in the above drawing of a young, blond, barbarian slave being subjected to inspection prior to being bought by a lecherous, old Roman patrician.
I like what this drawing suggests and most probably it is nearer to reality than my own post portrayed.
Here, a slave-overseer has forced the new slave to his knees with his ass elevated and ready for the older Roman to "try before he buys".
I have no doubt this was a familiar scene in the slave-markets of ancient Rome especially for the rich and privileged. In fact, there was a special, exclusive market reserved for them and closed to the plebeians where only the primest slaves were offered for sale.
I thank Pote for his drawing and I am honoured by his compliment. Perhaps, one day, we might have the chance to co-operate on another post.
Once again, thank you, Pote,
Regards,
Chris
