In old Rome everybody did his own work. <br />There were the slaves all over the world, <br />Unluckily the world has not changed, <br />Luckily those slaves could become freedmen. <br />The ten ases coin valued more than the Greek dram, <br />The Romans did not devalue their denarius. <br />As a kid one read about old Rome hoping to grow up. <br />Machiavelli dreamt he came back to old Rome changing his clothes in the evening. <br />We held our suits and have our homework. <br />A Lady gave her daughter a copper jewel box as a dowry. <br />We know she's a great catch that girl with her cista Ficoroni.<br /><br />Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aaac-rome/
