How did ancient Romans feel about slavery?

Answer 1

theres no real answer, but it was a combination of Christianity in rome (since slavery was abbolished in 1st and 2nd centuries BC) which taught the value and compassion towards fellow man, the 3 servile war (the 3rd and largest of which was led by spartacus, crixus and oenamaeus freeing and recruiting 70,000 slaves) and fall of the republic because of a collapse of the economy due to larger, wealthier slaveowner landowners holding a monopoly in agriculture and keeping smaller countryside farms to profit from their crops because of cheap manual slave labor. slavery was officially abolished in southern Italy (not too sure on the rest of Europe) in 189A.D.

Answer 2

ancient Rome's slaves were not treated differently compared to the slavery in the southern US in the 1800s.

There were many types of slaves. Greek slaves are known to have been teachers. Slaves that were not so nicely treated were those who were trained in gladiatorial schools and forced to fight to the death e.g (Spartacus).

The punishment was severe if they decided to run away-crucifixion.

Answer 3

Even though slavery was advantageous to Rome, it was also disastrous in many ways. The manipulation, the degrading, and the dependency of slaves played some role in the fall of Roman civilization. The cruel and inhumane treatments which some Romans gave their slaves partly led to its downfall. For example, the condition in which slaves were kept after being captured was very humiliating. When slaves were first captured, they were brought to auction blocks stripped naked as the buyers examined and placed cards on the slaves that listed all the qualifications of the slave. Other ways in which masters degraded their slaves was by selling them into prostitution, especially, the females.
