Slaves    Slaves are an important subject to know when you are trying to survive in Rome. Some people are born into a slave family and are forced to grow up and serve as a slave. Others were captured and forced. Slaves could be sold between owners also. Slaves worked in homes, at farms, and at workshops that the Romans owned. They were often badly treated and they had to do all of the house work. Some even worked in mines and at galleys. Others were even used to be tutors. Most of the slaves didn’t enjoy the work and if some murdered their master’s, they would be killed. Every once and a while, some slaves can even collect enough money to resign and own their own slave!
