Assignment 4-Selina rivera


Clodia was a very beautiful, young woman with a very creative imagination.  She had long, curly, dark hair that ran past her back. She had a light olive skin tone and dark brown eyes. However, as beautiful as Clodia was, she had the heart as humble as someone can be.  Clodia, under the rule of the paterfamilias, her father, she knew her life was already planned out for her.  Clodia and her family worked as slaves for a wealthy politician and his family. Clodia was very hard-working, yet always believed that there was more to life than being a slave. Her life as a slave included the medial slave duties; to maintain the property, and do what the Master needs. Although she very much enjoyed  the trips down to the market because it allowed Clodia to put her imagination to work. Her imagination would make believe that she will soon be able to create her own life, make her own decisions and be free to do whatever she wanted.

Lucius, was a family man.  Father of Clodia and her two brothers. Lucius had the dark brown hair such as Clodia and the bid brown eyes. Lucius had a very intimidating stature. He was big a man, with very broad shoulders and stood to be six feet 3 inches in height. However, beside his daunting stature, Lucius was a very kind man. He wanted nothing more in life then to just take care of his family.  As role of paterfamilias, he knew it was his responsibility to care and provide what his family needed. Lucius was no dictator when it came to his role as paterfamilias; he very much enjoyed involving his two sons, Clodia’s brothers, as a teaching lesson for them for when it is their time to become paterfamilias.  Lucius was a good-hearted man. He loved his only daughter very much, and despised the idea of not being able to allow her not to make her decisions.
