[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7598866, member: 115909"]Fun fact: Apparently in Ancient Rome it was common for slave owners to leave seriously ill slaves at the Temple of Asclepius so they didn’t have to take care of them. They hoped the slaves would die there. If the slave survived the master would come reclaim him/her. Emperor Hadrian did not like this so he passed an edict saying that any slave who was abandoned at the Temple and survived was automatically considered a freedman.[/QUOTE]
