No Roman was a slave. A Roman was a citizen. Even the poorest of the poor was a citizen. The only possible way a Roman could become a slave was to voluntarily sell himself into slavery. This was sometimes done by someone wanting to avoid his debtors with an agreement with his new owner that would allow him to buy back his freedom. Needless to say, a man who did this, lost all his social standing, and was considered nothing more than an outcast.
