Takeover Day: Sculpture of a slave captured by the Romans
Description
This sculpture of a captured enemy who might have become a Roman slave was found in Caerleon. Slaves were given time off during the Saturnalia festival and sometimes their masters would serve them food at a banquet.
This object was chosen and photographed by Somerton Primary School to complement their video about Saturnalia. This was part of the 2016 Kids in Museums Takeover Day at the National Roman Legion Museum, Caerleon.
