Back to Home Page!! -Aqueducts -Construction of the Roman Roads -Nero -Colosseum -Life of a Roman Soldier The slaves in ancient Rome were forced to do multiple jobs such as: -mining for gold -helping the young -did paperwork -Etc. The wealthy Romans had hundreds or even thousands of slaves. Some slave masters were harsh. If a slave rebelled they were branded or had to wear an iron tagged color. If a slave escaped they could even be crucified on the side of the road. But some slave masters were very generous and even let some slaves free! People did not become slaves just because they weren’t well educated, actually most slaves were very smart. Lots of people simply had to become slaves because they were so poor they had no choice. Other people became slaves in Rome because they were captured in war! Now today people in society are doing the same jobs slaves had done in ancient Rome. Without the slaves people would be doing there own jobs back then and we wouldn’t have had such a large job selection today!
