If living in a palace, slaves generally got semi-nice clothing, to look presentable in court. Depending on the era, they would either live in a brick annex to the palace, or even in the palace itself, along with other servents and slaves in one wing together. Peasents and poor folk had to live in wooden houses on crouded streets with houses smushed together and even on top of each other. Disease spread quickly and so did fire, mostly because they were forced to cook inside, with out a proper stove. Very ironic, but it's true that servants mosly got better living conitions than the common and poor of the city.

- Life was very hard for Roman slaves. Slave dealers went around to different countries but took people from their familys. The were killed by having their thouts slit and woman were sent back into their houses and they were sent on fire. And the children were tied in leather handcuffs and were made to walk 200 miles accross a desert to the nearest port.

∙ 13y agoThe life of a slave in ancient Rome depended upon the wealth and temperament of his owner. It also depended on the slave's location. For example, a city slave had a much easier life than a rural slave because the work load was different. On the whole, the lives of Roman slaves, especially the urban ones, was much easier than the lives of slaves in other cultures. The Roman slaves also had the very real possibility of gaining their freedom, which other cultures did not offer.
