The Servian Village

The Servii do not keep slaves but employ Romano-Gallic workers (mostly Gallic with Vitas and Scipio sending war prisoners to make up for the Roman’s leaving during their absence). Many of the families there are generational due to the security the plantation provides. The pay is low but the harvests are seasonal, and when not harvesting, these people live rent-free in a village with walls, gardens, animals, baths, and fresh water.

I used an existing graphic featuring a Roman farm from the Late Republic as my guide, the only difference I made to that base model was separating the owner’s house from that of his worker – Villa Servi itself is down the road from its village of workers.
