Slaves - the Akhrif family
Previously in ancient Rome... not too much occurred in the life of this family. Oster's nephew and niece live with his family, helping with the gardening and fishing.

Fantasie was pregnant again and gave birth to her sixth child. (The eldest girl, Yolanda, was lost to disease as a child. No medicine at all existed prior to the rise of the Roman Empire). Only five surviving children, therefore, but thankfully three boys to carry on the name of Akhrif. As long as wives are able to be found, that is...
In more personal (and non-sims related news), I have just recently been accepted to an MA programme at Durham University in England and am so thrilled about the upcoming fall that I simply have to share! :D
