"Slaves" refers to individuals who are owned by other people and forced to work for them without wages, often under harsh and oppressive conditions. Slavery is a form of exploitation and violation of human rights that has been practiced throughout history.
Masters were not kind to their slaves due to a belief in the superiority of their own race, a desire to maintain control and power over others, and economic interests that benefited from the labor of enslaved individuals. This unjust and oppressive system allowed masters to exploit and mistreat their slaves without consequence.
Historically, slaves have been treated poorly, subjected to physical abuse, exploitation, and denied basic human rights. The practice of slavery has been universally condemned for its inhumane and unjust treatment of individuals.
Two types of slaves in ancient Rome were household slaves who worked in the homes of their master, performing domestic duties, and agricultural slaves who worked in the fields and farms belonging to their master.

The people who did the branding would tie the slaves wrists behind their back and put there face down on something like a piece of wood or table. They would then heat the piece of metal that had something written on it (what ever the owner wanted the slave to have branded on them). The slave would then be branded on the cheek (or what ever part of the body was chosen.
