Home Life as a Roman Slave The slaves in rome were un like slaves in most utter cities. Most of the slaves were used to entertain their masters. The were forced to fight in the Coliseums. Other slaves had to work in farms or shops, and were fed for there work. One more thing slaves did was work on the aqueducts and roads. The thing that makes slaves different is that the slaves were considered citizens of Rome. The had all the rights of a normal person, while most slaves had none at all. If the slaves worked very well, some masters would release them and they could live freely, in rome. Rome got most of there slaves as P.O.W (Prisoners of War).
