While there are no statistics on the health of the slaves in ancient Rome, it can be assumed that they were as healthy as the rest of the population. The public slaves would more than likely be subject to diseases spread by crowding and communal living and they would be the ones most likely to catch whatever was "going around". The domestic slaves were generally well cared for if they fell ill, as they were not only important to the running of the household, they were the primary caregivers if anyone in the family got sick. The rural slaves were perhaps the healthiest of all, as they were away from the urban crowding, pollutions and diseases that these conditions bred.
Abandoned children in Rome were made into slaves, fathers had the right to sell their children as slaves, and slaves were also captured in wars and brought back to Rome to be sold.
Slaves came to ancient Rome through slave traders from Europe and Middle East.

In antiquity slaves were war captives. Enslaving war captives was part of the war booty of victory. The Romans got plentiful slaves pool when they won a war and, especially, when they seized a foreign town. It was said that when Rome won the Third Macedonian War against the Kingdom of Macedon in Greece, 300,000 Greeks were taken to the slave market in Rome. When Rome destroyed Carthage, she sold 50,000 Carthaginians as slaves. After the destruction of Jerusalem, 97,000 Jews were enslaved. When Rome's wars of expansion ended, the supply of slaves dwindled.
