What were the sources, in the Roman empire or on its fringes, for slaves? Once brought to Italy, how were they sold? How many were there in relation to the free population and to what extent was Rome dependent on them? Slaves were often highly educated and were valued member of private households, treated almost as family members. Others in mining, manufacture or gladiatorial schools could be brutalised. The attitudes of Roman Slave owners varied accordingly. Harsh treatment could lead to disastrous slave revolts, like that of Spartacus. On the other hand, slaves could ultimately be given or purchase freedom and, as freedman, even rose to high positions in the 'civil service' of the Emperors.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Massey\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ePaul Moreland\u003c\/b\u003e were both practising teachers of classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8.4 x 5.42 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52627273056563,"sku":"9781853996351","price":57.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/S1-H6gyFj_9781853996351.webp?v=1783504834","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/slavery-in-ancient-rome-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
