In the Greek and Roman world, slavery was a widespread institution, deeply embedded in the economy and social structures. Slaves were often prisoners of war, born into slavery, or indebted individuals, and they could be found in various roles, from household servants to skilled laborers. Unlike later forms of slavery, some slaves in these societies could gain their freedom or even achieve a measure of social mobility. However, they lacked basic rights and were considered property, subject to their owners' will.

The Roman Conquest of the Mediterranean significantly expanded the scale and complexity of slavery in the Roman world. As Rome conquered new territories, it acquired vast numbers of enslaved people through warfare, enhancing the reliance on slavery for agricultural and economic productivity. This influx led to a more structured system of slavery, with distinctions based on origin and skill, and it contributed to the development of a wealthy elite who depended on enslaved labor for their wealth and status. Consequently, slavery became a central institution in Roman society, shaping its economy and social dynamics.

Yes it did. The Arabs and the Africans had slavery. There was some degree of slavery in Europe as well. The Europeans also became the biggest slavers in History.
