One of Mark Antony's great pleasures in life is spanking his pretty female slaves. He even puchases them for their spankability. Octavia's maid is no exception. When she annoys his wife Octavia it is Mark Anthony who insists on chastising the shapely bottom of the maid, much to Octavia's irritation. It is one of her pleasures as well, so she storms off while he brings the maid's bottom to a glorious red hue. (SP99)
