<h3>No, this type of "salesmanship" should not be legal today. It is a fraud. </h3>
Explanation:
Pythius tricked Canius into buying his villa. He made his villa look lively and full of fisherman boats to make Canius think that it was prosperous when in reality it was not.
In this way, Canius who was greedy and rich bought the villa for a high price that Pythius demanded.
No, this type of "salesmanship" should not be legal today. It is a fraud. The seller is not being truthful but instead tricking the buyer to think that it is a good price.
