Life of a Slave aqueducts roads Augustus caesar colosseum slaves Roman soldiers homepage

When you go to Ancient Rome you might see some slaves. That is okay! Just know that not everyone has slaves. Slaves in Ancient Rome were very expensive and the masters had to take care of them. Some of the wealthy wanted their children to get an education, but didn't want them to go to public schools so the slaves taught the children. Some of the slaves had a great education while others knew almost nothing. Slaves had alot of other jobs besides teaching, like washing clthes, raisng children for mothers, shop, cook, clean, and sometimes massage bathers. Today it is illegal to have slaves, although the slaves were very simalar to today's housekeepers, school teachers, nannies, and cooks.
