bunnAverage lifespan for people who made it to the age of 10 was 47.5 years. Say you have a slave who is 45, and is therefore, presumably, something of a banger.
Suppose you are a bit of a bastard and also a tightwad, and would prefer not to keep spending money on food, accommodation etc for a slave who was frankly always a bit of a lemon.
You aren't allowed to kill them, Hadrian outlawed that. Your slave has no marketable value.
What do you do?
