** Slaves in Ancient Rome had lived very hard lives that required a lot of work. The slaves were people who were frequently captured in battle and sent back to **** Rome **** to be sold. There were very many slaves in Ancient Rome. A wealthy Roman would buy a slave in a markey place. Most slaves were prisoners of war. The slaves do the hardest and dirtiest work. The smarter slaves, which were manily Greek, became teachers and doctors. Slaves also became secreataries, and very rarely did they become senators and emperors. If a slave married and had children, their children would automatically become slaves. Young children were sometimes killed by their parents, so they didn't have to do the slave work all slaves did. Some slaves gained freedom, but others did not. most lived very bad lives. Today, we don't have slaves because it is illegal. Back in 1860 we did have slaves in the United States that did the hard, dirty work. **
