Home Roads ** Nero Circus Maximus Aquaducts ** **Life as a Roman Solider** Roman slaves were treated very badly. They did a lot of work and had no form of thanks. If you were an Ancient Roman slave you would need to know how to behave to the liking of your Ancient Roman family. ** These pictures are of Ancient Roman slaves at work and in full dress.
 * The Life of Roman Slaves
 * Slaves were expected to keep the furnaces running under the bath houses and the central furnaces.
 * Many ancient roman slaves were owned by wealthy Roman families.
 * The slaves were expected to cook, clean and do other house hold chores.
 * If you are sent to mines, you will be mining silver, lead, tin or gold for your master. you probably wont see sunlight for a long time, so enjoy yoiur time outside before hand.
 * You just might be used in Ancient Romes gallys or in gladiatorial combats in the arena. Dont upset your owner and you might not have to deal with that.
 * If you are gifted you might be a tutor for the wealthy families children, or keep your masters accounts and be in charge of his investments. Show off any tallent you have to have the chance of beter work.
 * Even if you are a valued household slave treated as part of the family in some ways, you are still a slave and you dont have all of the rights that a Roman citizen would.
 * Dont kill your master; If you do, all of the slaves owned by the master would be killed along with you so be careful and dont get overly angry.
 * If your mother in Ancient rome was a slave when you were born than you would be a slave as well.
