    Roman slaves were made to work hard through manual labor such as building roads, bridges, and buildings. They were often maltreated and worked hard even if they earned their freedom, as freed slaves were still considered plebeians in the lower class of Roman society. The Romans were powerful and wealthy enough to buy, sell, and trade slaves to perform both skilled and manual labor, though freed slaves had few rights and remained in the lower classes.

    Roman Slaves ------ ABHI AND AADIT-----

    Hardworking - The Roman Slaves


    had to work hard with manual
    labor and building roads, bridges,
    buildings and more, because the
    Location
    passage says “No matter what
    The Roman Empire was vast they were doing, slaves were
    and spanned the whole of made to work hard.”
    Southern Europe, some of
    Britain, Northern Africa and Maltreated - Based on our evidence, the
    West Asia slaves were maltreated because they were
    made to work hard, and even if they earned
    their freedom, they were only Plebeians (the
    Romans’ Lower Class of Society), even if they
    were skilled. Even if they worked very hard,
    sometimes the families would not agree to
    free them. Some were very fortunate to be
    freed by their owners, but that would ONLY
    happen if they were private slaves. But
    (through the passage) if they were
    government slaves/public slaves they had no
    option but to work.

    Rich Romans Feasting
    been very rich and powerful to buy, sell
    and trade slaves for money and make
    them do Manual Labor or skilled jobs
    for literate slaves. Even if the slaves
    were freed, they got the rights as the
    Plebeians or in lower class. They could
    also be known as powerful because the
    wealthy families could easily afford
    slaves.
