Marcus and a slave troupe of dancing boys are taken to Crete, and from there to Brundisium (which was Marcus' original destination, on his way to Rome).
In Brundisium the pirates sell Marcus and the dancing boys to a high class Greek slave trader called Arion.
Marcus is subsequently put into an auction, and described as 'Markos' a Greek bilingual, attractive and educated slave-boy.
Many bids are made for him until one young man makes a phenomenally high bid (in gold), that no one else in the auction room can match.
Door Keepers to Gracchus' Study - Story of Gracchus - Vittorio Carvelli
Gracchus is a childless, middle aged man, separated from his wife.
He is, however, fabulously wealthy, being reputed to be one of the richest men in the Empire.
Where his wealth comes from is not clear, although his freedmen are involved in numerous financial affairs, including the importation of fine art, building materials, wine and olive oil, food stuffs, and most importantly - slaves (Gracchus, being a Senator, is not permitted, by law, to be involved in any economic activity, and his Freedmen perform this function on his behalf.).
Markos (as he is now known) believes the loss of his family, and his subsequent his servitude to be a judgement by the Gods because he was a 'bad son', not respecting the traditional Roman ideals of his father, or caring about his education.
He therefore accepts his new situation.
On meeting his master (always referred to as Dominus - Latin for master or lord), Markos discovers that his servitude is to be far easier than he imagined.
This isn't anyone, honest, just some random... picture... any resemblance to any superstar DJs is entirely your imagination...
This was a VERY SPECIAL REQUEST for a friend who asked me "OK, draw him in EYELINER. And, like, dress him up like a Persian Dancing Boy" and bombarded me with photos of Bagoas from Alexander.
So, erm. I'm never one to turn down a challenge, am I? Richey Manic "mess of eyeliner" and all.
The WRONGNESS kind of excites me.
Markos is then whisked away in a luxurious carriage, across country, to the exclusive sea-side resort of Baiae, on what is now called the Gulf of Naples, to a huge, magnificent villa.

Bust of a Boy Named Martial, Roman, A.D. 98-117 (dated from the hairstyle).
The inscription on the best reads "Dearest Martial, a slave child, who lived two years, ten months, and eight days."
As the Getty curator points out, Martial's owner must have been very fond of him to have a bust made of him.

This was pretty cool. Two "slaves" twist this bucket around the pole and let it go. I think it would make me let go of my lunch!
