The slaves in Rome were not limited from being educated. You are confusing ancient slavery with American slavery. The ancient slaves were often highly educated as they were their master's assistants in many cases. They were also sometimes teachers, physicians and scribes. Many slaves had positions of authority.

∙ 13y agoWhere did you ever get the idea that the Roman slaves were uneducated? True, some of the farm slaves were illiterate, but the city slaves were sometimes highly educated. Slaves were the physicians, Accountants, and their owner's surrogates in many business matters. Former slaves, could become very wealthy men, as exemplified during the reign of the emperor Claudius. Please don't confuse ancient slavery with American slavery. In American slavery, education was forbidden for slaves and gross mistreatment was in many cases the norm. In ancient slavery attitudes were very, very different.
