"Hello, my name is Calixa. I am a Roman slave girl from Pompeii. I was born twin with my sister, but we look very different. She has brown hair and fair skin, while I have long golden locks and tan skin. We were both bought by the same master when we were just children. He used to take us to parties and gatherings, where I would often be admired for my beauty.
One day, while attending a party at our master's house, I caught the eye of a wealthy merchant named Marcus. He was taken aback by my beauty and asked our master if he could buy me. My sister and I were sold to him, and we moved into his villa in Rome.
Marcus was kind to us, but he also used us as status symbols among his peers. We were frequently paraded around at events, and Marcus would brag about how beautiful we were. However, being owned by a wealthy man did have its perks. We lived in luxury and had access to the finest clothes and jewels.
Unfortunately, our time together was cut short when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Marcus and his family were killed instantly, but we managed to escape with some of his servants. We eventually made our way back to Pompeii, where we continued to work as slaves. But despite the hardships, I am grateful for my time with Marcus and the experiences it brought me."
