Eleutheria

What is it like to be poor in ancient Rome? How valuable is the life of a slave? Meet prostitutes who have to sleep with dogs to keep alive at night. Meet a wealthy rat-catcher in his favourite bar. And follow the adventures of Eleutheria, a temple prostitute, brutalised and scared by a vicious client. What does an aging, one-eyed woman do to keep alive? How does it feel to have no choices, no rights, no possessions?

In the Roman Republic, hope is still available. Furius 'the Greek', arrives to find that he is expected and welcome.
