Ancient Rome AU

Yes, this is in Survival, not Creative.

I have a village full of master masons who will sell me quartz (1 emerald = 1 quarter block) and quarter columns (same price).

I have a trading hall full of weapon, tool, and armor smiths who will buy iron from me, so I can acquire the necessary emerald in bulk.

I have an iron farm (i.e. fucked-up village that spawns iron golems who are immediately fed into a chute and melted down for the iron) that I can AFK at.

All for the love of the quartz!

There’s other instances of people randomly punching slaves that they didn’t even know because they got in their way or something. This was just normal behavior.

And slaves didn’t rebel en masse because if even one slave committed an act of violent rebellion it was common practice to kill every slave and former slave in the household.

People only took notice for posterity when these mass executions got into the hundreds of people. One of the few recorded for the history books is of over 400 people being killed because one guy stabbed his enslaver.

Puns in translation are tough. I tried. It was not possible to work in it.”

"what if I've read part of it" if it's a large enough part that you would consider yourself to Have Read It in general contexts, then it counts. if it's not, then it doesn't. only you can be the judge of that, but I'm not giving you a nuance button.

any translations count, but abridged retellings don't
