Slavery in the ancient world and in Rome was vital to both the economy and even the social fabric of the society. Not only did slavery help push the Roman lower classes into organized mobs, but the slaves themselves understandably revolted against oppression.

A revolt by Spartacus made the upper class aware that revolts could be bad for the empire.
