Time for work

• I bang a gong signaling my slave for the schedule of today’s event on a piece of papyrus.

• I start my day with collecting the taxes of the land.

• I meet the estate overseer, who gives me the latest figures on his cattle and geese, and updates me on my expectations for the harvest.

• Then I go on a tour , watching my slaves carry baskets full of grapes and pomegranates . The grapes are took to the wine press where they are crushed underfoot before being put in clay vases made of the Niles banks and put in the cellar to turn into wine.
