If both your parents were slaves then you were a slave from birth.
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.
The slaves in Rome were all different some slaves were treated like family while others were beaten some slaves could buy their freedom all slaves were bought in a slave market if a slave tried to kill their owner the slave would be killed other for their children's safety would ship them to somewhere in the world of their children were caught some slaves would become gladiators and go to gladiator school.
Most slaves in Ancient Rome had been captured from other lands, such as Gaul. Other slaves actually came from Rome, and signed themselves into slavery. People who did this usually had large debts that needed to be paid. I hope this helped. :)

had slaves
Ancient Rome, as all other ancient civilizations, was a slave based society. Slaves were used for everything from raising children to raising buildings, from scrubbing floors to brokering business deals. They were the extra hands of the master/mistress.

No, they did not, nobody had time or inclination to educate slaves.
the heavy taxes in rome are when slaves are sold
From the very moment in man's history there were slaves. Ancient cultures took slaves as part of war and sold them around the ancient world. Pirates were one of the major links in the selling of slaves. The gladiators of ancient Rome were men who were taken in war as slaves and put into the arena to fight. Women and children didn't escape slavery and were used as sex slaves as well as slaves for households of the wealthy.
