There was 65 acres in the villa of crops like wheat, apples, beans, onions, grapes, and very good olives. Many of them were owned by wealthy people. Another thing about the villa is that most of the workers were slaves. Roman slaves were often people from countries captured by Rome. They were bought and sold at markets in town. Many owners took good care of their slaves, and paid them for doing special jobs. Sometimes they were given, or allowed to buy their freedom. Now you know what they had in villas in roman times.
