Sometime in the first century CE, the sexual services of enslaved woman named Eutychis were advertised in the entranceway to the House of the Vettii at Pompeii: 鈥淓utychis, homeborn slave with charming ways, for 2 asses鈥 (CIL 4.4592 Add. p. 1841; Eutychis / vern<a> a(ssibus) II / moribus bellis). This graffito raises important questions: How did homeborn slaves (vernae), presented in 海角网 literature as beloved by their owners, come to be prostituted? What experiences did Eutychis have in the House of the Vettii, whose d茅cor was as violent as it was luxurious? With only this graffito (and a similar one on the same wall) attesting to Eutychis鈥檚 existence, traditional approaches fall short. I thus present Saidiya Hartman鈥檚 methodology of critical fabulation (Hartman: 2007, 2008)鈥攗sed by her to re-animate the voices of captives on the trans-Atlantic slave route鈥攁s one way to work with the omissions that characterize ancient evidence. I use this approach to write from the perspective of Eutychis, of an enslaved doorman, of an enslaved cook, of a freeborn daughter, and of a mater familias, creating short stories using the evidence from the house, from 海角网 culture, and from comparative material. Through these narratives, I explore multiple potential life histories of Eutychis and the emotional implications of Eutychis having been born into slavery and then prostituted.
