Read the following excerpt from the Code of Justinian . Based on these laws , what would most likely happen to a valuable piece of pottery that was given to a slave as thanks for helping a wealthy stranger ?
We now come to another division relative to the rights of persons ; for some persons are independent , some are subject to the power of others . Of those , again , who are subject to others , some are in the power of parents , others in that of masters . Let us first treat of those who are subject to others ; for , when we have ascertained who these are , we shall at the same time discover who are independent . And first let us consider those who are in the power of masters . 1. Slaves are in the power of masters , a power derived from the law of nations : for among all nations it may be remarked that masters have the power of life and death over their slaves , and that everything acquired by the slave is acquired for the master . 2. But at the present day none of our subjects may use unrestrained violence towards their slaves , except for a reason recognized by law.
A. The pottery would belong to the slave's owner .
B. It would be taken from the slave's possession by the government and returned to its original owner .
C. The pottery would be considered a trade to the owner in exchange for the slave .
D. It could be sold by the slave , and the proceeds could be used to buy his freedom
