User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Spanish victory over the Aztecs in the initial phase of western colonialism in the Americas may be attributed especially to three factors. First, of course, the Spanish technological superiority in fire-arms and body-armor, among other factors, strongly contributed to their victory. Second was the clever use that the Spanish made of allies -- enemies of the Aztecs who were emboldened by the presence of the Spanish. Third, it should also be mentioned that deception and self-serving diplomacy contributed strongly to the final victory of the Spanish invaders.

What religion did the slaves have and did they follow there religion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The slaves within the boundaries of the Roman empire had the same religion as the Roman citizens. Slavery was a social class, and the lowest on the ladder. Therefore, being a social class, they would have been influenced culturally the same way as citizens. Slaves were not citizens, but followed what the citizens did. The religion of the Roman empire was paganism, therefore the slaves were as well pagans. The only exception would be people from distant lands who were captured and forced to be slaves; in Asia Minor there would have been Christians and Jews, and those religions spread to the Roman empire; people of all social standings--from slaves to aristocrats--would have converted. But, basically, what I'm trying to say, is that the slaves themselves did not have their own religion.
