Le contubernium consistait en une union de fait qui pouvait être rompue par la simple volonté du maître. Ce n'est que tardivement que les liens de parenté de l'esclave furent respectés. Cette union restait sans effet juridique et n'avait d'autre but que d'empêcher des mariages ultérieurs entre parents lors de l'éventuel affranchissement d'une famille.  3, record 4, French, - contubernium
