Many slaves were granted their freedom when their master died as a provision in his will. I believe a slave could also buy his freedom.
They were usually freed when they were around 30 (manumission)
Also when their master was very pleased and very kind he would set him free. eg. if you were a kind master and you were being mugged, and a slave saves you, you might free that slave.
Question of my own: How would a master show that he freed his slave??

∙ 12y agoif the slaves had kind owners then they would just set them free, some slaves even got proper paying jobs once they were freed and a few even became wealthy! Some slaves were killed before they even had a chance to be freed as their owners could kill them at any time and would face no punishment! Hope my answer helps you <3 :)

What are the differences between slavery in ancient Rome and in America?
The number one difference between slavery in America and slavery in ancient Rome was its foundation. American slavery was based on race or skin color. Roman slavery was based on birth. The ancients had no sense of racism. (They did have prejudices against foreigners, but this was based on nationality, not race.) In America, few slaves were freed in comparison to their numbers, while in Rome hundreds of slaves were freed annually. The freed slaves in Rome, although owing a limited service to their former masters, were free to climb the social ladder and many of them did, becoming businessmen, craftsmen, or government officials. In America it was much more difficult, as race and lack of education worked against the freed slave. The ancient slaves always had the hope of freedom, either from their owners or by buying their freedom. An American slave did not have this advantage.
