The Romans had the right to keep their slaves as long as they wanted to keep them. However, many owners manumitted their slaves while they were alive and many freed slaves in their wills. The only restriction that an owner had was that the slave had to be at least 30 years old before he/she could be freed. The freedman then had an obligation to become his master's client and in some cases work for the ex-master for a couple of days a week. this arrangement worked best in the cases of imperial freedmen who many times rose to high offices in the Roman bureaucracy. A slave could also buy his freedom from his savings.
