No great success could attend these efforts; the abnormal circumstances which had brought to Rome the great familiae of slaves reacted inevitably upon the citizen body itself through the process of manumission. Rome had to pay heavily in this, as in so many other ways, for her advancement to the sovereignty of the civilised world.
Of all the reminders that she had ever received that her people were socially extinct, there was none so forcible as this spoliation. She drew near to a dark stone on which was inscribed: OSTIUM SEPULCHRI ANTIQUAE FAMILIAE D'URBERVILLE
His father, Sir Henry Sidney, lord-deputy of Ireland, and president of Wales, a states man of accomplishments and experience, called him "lumen familiae suae," and said of him, with pardonable pride, "that he had the most virtues which he had ever found in any man; that he was the very formular that all well-disposed young gentlemen do form their manners and life by."

In the preface of the Syllabica on the art of Prosody dedicated to him by Pompilio, the latter hails him as the hope and ornament of the Hous of Borgia "Borgiae familiae spes et decus." From Perugia he was moved in 1491 to the famous University of Pisa, a college frequented by the best of Italy.

The reasons whereby their judgment is confirmed are these:— Many societies convened to the eating of the paschal supper by twenties. Neque esus umus agni, saith Pareus, toti familiae sedandae fami sufficere poterat. The paschal supper was not for banquetting or filling of the belly, as Josephus also writeth.
Slave labour, we may think, had filled a gap, created by abnormal circumstances, and did not oust free labour entirely; but it tended constantly to cramp it, and doubtless started notions of work in general which helped to degrade it . Those immense familiae urbanae, of which the historian of slavery has given a detailed account in his second volume , belong rather to the early Empire than to the last years of the Republic the evidence for them is drawn chiefly from Seneca, Juvenal, Tacitus, Martial, etc.; but such evidence as we have for the age of Cicero seems to suggest that the vast palaces of the capitalists, which Sallust describes as being almost like cities , were already beginning to be served by a familia urbana which rendered them almost independent of any aid from without by labour or purchase.
In all such cases however, as the examples just cited show, per with the acc. is not precisely equivalent to the abl. The abl. is more active and implies means, agency; the acc. with per is more passive and denotes manner or occasion. Delegata, transferred. Familiae. Ipsi.
