Did roman slaves have traditions?

Roman slaves became slaves at the time, because they were either prisoners of war, born into slavery or were criminals being punished. Therefore, different slaves would have different traditions. There were educated slaves that would teach or cook, for example, and they were treated better. These slaves were probably allowed to have their own traditions (free time, at all) The uneducated slaves were treated poorly, but were also typically prisoners of war or criminals, and they would often work on public projects with guards.
