Slaves were very badly treated in a house of a rich Roman family. The slaves were expected to cook, clean, and do any other household chores. Some slaves were used down in the mines to mine silver, led, tin, and gold for their masters. Even if the slaves were pictured as a part of the family in one household, he/ she still didn't have the same rights as a regular citizen. A law was made that if a slave were to murder their master, they, and all the other slaves within hearing were executed. The slaves were also used in the Roman gladiator battles in the coliseum. Slaves that were more intelligent could tutor their masters’ children. If a slave were to be freed, they could not become a Roman citizen; it was one of Rome’s laws. Those are all of the things that you will need to know if you became a Roman slave.
