Every Roman was surrounded by slaves. The slave and his psychology flooded ancient Italy, and every Roman became inwardly, and of course unwittingly, a slave. Because living constantly in the atmosphere of slaves, he became infected through the unconscious with their psychology. No one can shield himself from such an influence.

Hver romer var omgivet af slaver. Slaven og hans psykologi gennemtrængte oldtidens Italien, og enhver romer blev i sit indre, og naturligvis uden at vide det, slave. For ved stadig at leve i slavernes atmosfære blev han gennem det ubevidste smittet af deres psykologi. Ingen kan beskytte sig mod en sådan indflydelse.
