* As discussed in the "TV" section above, quite a few slaves in ancient Rome might have felt this way. A notable example was Tiro, slave to Cicero. He was his master's right hand and the reason any of Cicero's speeches have been preserved until this very day. Tiro invented a form of short-hand writing, taking notes in court or in the senate and transcribing the speech later. He survived his release (and the suicide of his master shortly after) for many years and died at around 90. |
