one aedem Castoris, ibi sunt subito quibu' credas male"; Marq. _Privatleven_, p. 168; Wallon, _op. cit_. ch. ii.] [Footnote 322: Gellius iv. 2 gives an extract from the edict of the aediles drawn up with the object of counteracting such sharp practice.] [Footnote 323: Livy xxxix. 44.] [Footnote 324: _N.H._. vii. 55. This story affords a good example of the tricks of the trade: the boys were not twins, and came from different countries, though exactly alike.] [Footnote 325: _Bevoelkerung_, p. 403.] [Footnote 326: Cic. _Off_. ii. 21. 73.] [Footnote 327: Galen v. p. 49, ed. Kuhn; Galen was a native of this great city.] [Footnote 328: Dr. Gummerus promises it.] [Footnote 329: Sittengeschichte, i., ed. 5, p. 264.] [Footnote 330: Probably by Clodius in 58.] [Footnote 331: _Asconius ad Cic. pro Cornel_., ed. Clark, p. 75; Waltzing, _Corporations professionelles_, i. p. 90 foll.] [Footnote 332: Baking as a trade only came in, as we saw, in 174; Plautus died in 184; some doubt is thus thrown on the Roman character of the passage, or the allusion may not be to a public bakery.] [Footnote 333: See a remarkable passage of Athenaeus (vi. 104) quoted by Marquardt, _Privatleben_, p. 156, on the use of slaves at Rome for unproductive labour.] [Footnote 334: Sallust, e.g., says of his own life in retirement that he would not engage in "agrum colendo aut venando, servilibus officiis."--_Catil._ 4.] [Footnote 335: Wallon, _Hist. de l'Esclavage_, vol. ii. ch. iii.] [Footnote 336: Sall. _Catil_. 12.] [Footnote 337: iv. 3. 11 and 12. Plutarch says that as military tribune Cato the younger had fifteen slaves with him.--Cato minor 9.] [Footnote 338: Cato, R.R. 2. I.] [Footnote 339: In ch. 185 he mentions towns where many other objects may be bought best and cheapest: at Rome, e.g., clothing and rugs, at Cales and Minturnae farm-instruments of iron, etc. See also Gummerus, _op. cit._ p. 36.] [Footnote 340: _R.R._ 10 and 11.] [Footnote 341: Assiduos homines quinquaginta praebeto, i.e. the contractor: ch. 144.] [Footnote 342: See the discussion of this word in Gummerus, p. 62 foll. Varro defines them as those "qui suas operas in servitutem dant pro pecunia quam debebant" (_de Ling. Lat._ vii. 105), i.e. they give their labour as against servitude.] [Footnote 343: _R.R._ i. 22.] [Footnote 344: Cp.
