slave Home When you are in Rome, there are some poor, unfortunate people referd to as slaves. Slaves are people who live to help other people but they do it unwillingly, and they are treated very badly. People can become a slave a few different ways. They can be born into slavery, or they can be captured during war and taken back to Rome. Also, if a child is abandon, they may become a slave. You can get a slave by trading goods for one but it can be very expensive. Lastly, if a family is in desperate need of money, they may sell their olders son into slavery.

Slaves do the dirty work for the people that don't want to do it themsleves. They can do anything from cooking to giving you a foot rub. As disturbing as it sounds, rich people can own 500 slaves if they want and make them do anything! Emperors can have thousands of slaves.

The lower valued slaves work down in mines. These are the slaves that have noa trading skills. They are less looked after and are easier and cheaper to replace.

Slaves work from dawn to dusk and have such a rough time in between.

Today we no longer have slaves. If we need extra help around the house, we hire a cook, maid, or a babysitter for assistance and pay them. It is illegal to have a slave because finally people realized how cruel slavory was and a stop was put to it. I am glad slavory is not one of the legacies we still carry on to day from Rome because slavory is terrible in my oppinion. People have value no matter what!

The people of Rome have handed down the Latin lauange. Although no one really speeks Latin as their main lauange today, it incresses linguistic skills and understanding. Over 80% of the English lauange is baced off of a Latin or Greek root!
