In passive voice, it is not grammatically necessary to identify who or what performed the action. Servus verbertus est (The slave was beaten) is a complete sentence all on its own. The ablative of agent or means merely provides additional information.

N.B. When the preposition is followed by a people word, it is not necessarily an ablative of agent. A passive verb must also be involved. In the following sentence, the verb is active, so the prepositional phrase with is not an ablative of agent.
