Cornelii estate

Although all information contained in this article is canonical, the actual name of this subject is conjectural.

The Cornelii estate is an estate located in Baiae. It is owned by the Cornelli. It was owned by Gaius Cornelius Calvus until it was seized by Domitian sometime between and including 89 AD and 18 September 96 AD. Prior to this, Davus was its overseer, and Cornelia, Gaius's daughter, occupied it during the summer. Flavia lived in the neighboring estate. Sometime between and including 18 September 96 AD and 112 AD, the estate was returned to Gaius by Nerva, Domitian's successor, who was attempting to undo the damage his predecessor had caused.

Davus works in the garden
In 80 AD, while Davus was working alone in the garden of the estate, Sextus and Marcus were shouting and running through it, which angered him. Suddenly, a statute fell into the fishpond, which caused Marcus and Sextus to laugh. Davus shouted at them and angrily ran toward the fishpond while they ran out of the garden. Davus then groaned.

Slaves work early in the morning
Later, slaves were working in the house on the estate before the sun had risen. Thressa was cooking, Syra was cleaning, and Davus was at first sitting under a tree instead of working. Gaius Cornelius, who was looking for Davus, was immediately angry when he discovered this, and scolded Davus, who immediately began preparing to work.

Organization
Gaius Cornelius Calvus was the owner of the estate. He delegated management of the estate to Davus in his absence, until Davus was sold into slavery by Domitian and lost contact with the Cornelii. For a period consisting of some of the time between and possibly including 89 AD and 112 AD, it was not owned by the Cornelli because it was seized by Domitian; presumably it was administered by Domitian, or a friend or supporter of his, during this time.
