Slavery In Ancient Rome • Slavery in ancient Rome played an important role in society. • Slaves performed many domestic services. • Greek slaves were highly educated. • Unskilled slaves, or those brought to slavery as punishment, worked on farms, in mines, and at mills. • Their living conditions were brutal, and their lives were very short.
Duties & Punishments for Slaves • Slaves were considered property under Roman Law. They had no legal rights to their citizenship. • Slaves were treated very unfairly. Mostly women, they did men’s work out on mills and farms and they also could have been forced to sexual exploitation. • The testimony of a slave could not be accepted in a court of law unless the slave was tortured with full proof.
