:I don't know of another term at this point. St. Perpetua was the slave owner of St. Felicitas. There may be a deeper relationship; economic ties, survival, shelter, and family that may be able to explain slavery in that generation.

::It wasn't entirely race-based then, and there wasn't a massive slave trade.  Slavery in Roman times was very different from antebellum slavery in America, which is what the word "slavery" means today.
