The form of address used by a slave depended upon several factors, such as the master's preference, the job/position of the slave, weather there was company present or they were in private. A rural slave, who rarely saw his owner, would use a deferential title such as "dominus" or even "bone vir". A domestic slave, who spent much time with the master would call him by his name. It is said that Julius Caesar's personal slaves called him by his name, Gaius.
