Rich or Poor?
Rich obviously. What kind of organization do you think we run here? Giving such lavishing tours to poor folk? Bah, humbug. No, we cater to the people who can afford our prices. And the people who can afford our prices are the rich.
So expect to find:
So expect to find:
- politicians, either on a business trip in which they smuggled some leisure time into
- argentari- probably with the family, relaxing
- rich merchants checking out the people and places they might trade with
- one or two wealthy liberti just out for some enjoyment
- lots 'o slaves to help the rich folk
Come on then, gentlemen and lady, the hour groweth late.
Men, Women, Children, and Slaves
Most likely, if you see children on the tours, they will be quite small babes. Seeing as most of the older children are in school, out in the fields helping their pater, or in the house helping their mater, only the youngest children could be taken.
Of course you will see men. They are the head of the house hold and usually control how they spend the money and on what they spend the money. Sure, they have been probably been swayed by their wives to come and take them on tours, but that's beside the point. An important note to remember is that you will see many more males than females. So, yes, we're not the best company if you want to grab a date (unless you're female).
And as for women, unless they are extremely rich, they will only be present if accompanying their husbands or fathers. Like the men, they will have a slave or two present with them to carry whatever our slaves can't, or perhaps to go with the privileged women on shopping trips.

Oh, yes, it does look delightful, I think I shall buy it! No come one, I've got things to do, and you, carry my bags.
Natives or Not So Natives
The Celtic people here have rich cultures and histories that have melded into our culture. Expect to see many of these beings as we are on their land.
But fear not for most of these people are friendly, with some striking exceptions. Nevertheless, most people (or the people who you will meet) will speak Latin, and know most customs.
Therefore, when asking for some sweet bread at a vendor stand, or ordering some ale at a taberna, you'll be pleased to find out that they will know enough of our language to take your money.
But be very much fool of care. As mentioned before, some of these people are not friendly and will sooner take your money and revolt if given the chance. use caution and good judgment when dealing with them, since some of them are known to be brutal.
