Idque apud imperitos humanitas vocabatur, cum pars servitutis esset.
Step by step they were led to things which dispose to vice, the lounge, the bath, the elegant banquet. All this in their ignorance they called civilisation, when it was but a part of their servitude.
Tacitus, De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae (89 AD), Book 1, paragraph 21.
