His parents belonged to the Roman aristocracy, so they lived in a beautiful house almost as luxurious as a palace, on top of Palatine Hill. Flavius went to the finest school where he was treated like a young prince and he had a new personal slave or \"pedagogue\" to carry his schoolbooks. He also felt his horse was the best in Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, the proudest day of his life, young Flavius was riding that fine horse in the Triumph-a procession to honor his father who was returning as a conquering general from the wars in Greece. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlavius did not know about the destruction that went with conquering or about the harsh treatment slaves could receive.
