History of Slavery in Ancient Rome

Did you know that 1 in 5 people were slaves during the Roman Empire? This video is all about the widespread institution of slavery in ancient Rome. Slavery was a widespread institution in ancient Rome with 1 in 5 people serving as slaves during the time of the empire, but the institution of slavery went back to the Kingdom of Rome dated between 753-509 BCE, and it developed during the time of the Republic between 509 and 27 BCE – before becoming the most prevalent form of free labor during the Roman Empire – from 27 BCE to 476 CE. Slaves were originally prisoners of war but, in time, could be those sold by their families to relieve debt, those kidnapped by slavers, convicted criminals, or those born into slavery. Slaves had no rights and no recourse to the law as they were viewed as the property of their masters just as a chair or couch or cup would be. — SUPPORT US VIA OUR PATREON— https://www.patreon.com/join/whencyclopedia — BUY OUR MERCH — https://www.worldhistory.store​/​ — CHAPTERS — 0:00​ Introduction 0:41 Slavery in Ancient Rome 1:43 Slavery During the Republic 3:13 The Status & Roles of Slaves 6:16 The Servile Wars and Slave Rebellions 8:47 Outro — WANT TO KNOW MORE? — Slavery in the Roman World https://www.worldhistory.org/article/629/slavery-in-the-roman-world/ Marcus Licinius Crassus https://www.worldhistory.org/Marcus_Licinius_Crassus/ Spartacus https://www.worldhistory.org/spartacus/ The Spartacus Revolt https://www.worldhistory.org/article/871/the-spartacus-revolt/ — WATCH NEXT — Ancient Rome Playlist https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRIPanKDxKpt23JtCUEa7Cw787eohdqIP Ancient Roman Ghosts, Spirits and Ghost Stories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwqoabaQB0c History of Dogs in Ancient Roman Society and Mythology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu2QpYetLjc&t Clothing and Fashion in Ancient Rome https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5myVyiGicg The Cult of the Emperor in the Roman Empire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvQKrFwI6oY — ATTRIBUTIONS — You can find all attribution and credits for images, animations, graphics and music here - https://worldhistory.typehut.com/history-of-slavery-in-ancient-rome-images-and-attributions-18137 The music used in this recording is the intellectual copyright of Michael Levy, a prolific composer for the recreated lyres of antiquity, and used with the creator's permission.
