Slaves in ancient Rome mainly came from foreign slaves. When Rome entered the Republic of China, the war of foreign expansion was further expanded, so the slaves of foreign defeated countries were the largest part of the slaves in ancient Rome. How do slaves live? It's really simple to say. Life is basically fixed from the beginning.
The main task of a slave's day is to work. There are countless dirty jobs. They are born for work and can't do it. If they are tired and steal a little laziness, they are likely to be whipped. If you are sick, or injured, and lose the value of your labor, what is waiting for you is basically abandoned by the slave owners, and the slave owners will not be too good to you, which will cost too much. Slave owners will not improve their living environment because of the hard work of slaves, but will also try their best to squeeze the capital needed to feed slaves. The slaves are naked and unkempt when they work every day.
In order to prevent them from escaping, the slave owners would chain them up and brand their faces. Slaves who are tired of working during the day can only sleep with livestock at night, or live in a cold and humid dungeon. Therefore, slaves are only farm tools that work for slave owners, and slave owners also classify farm tools. The first is a talking farm tool, the second is a silent farm tool, and the third is a silent farm tool. Obviously, slaves are the first kind. Slaves are even more inhuman lives. When female slaves are engaged in planting fertile land for slave owners, some beautiful slaves will still be seen by slave owners, but even if they are seen by slave owners, they will only become tools for slave owners to vent and cannot get rid of their fate. Even if they are pregnant and lucky enough to give birth to a child, the child will not be recognized and will still become a slave.
Compared with most male slaves, mental torture plus physical torture is even more terrible. No matter which civilized slave society, women are the most injured, so Chinese character slaves in China will take away a woman. Slavery society, which belongs to only a few people, will not exist forever, and the dignity and life of slaves can not be guaranteed, so naturally many contradictions have been aroused, which was also the main contradiction in ancient Rome at that time, that is, the contradiction between slave owners and slaves.
So in the later period, more and more slave uprisings broke out in ancient Rome, such as the Sicilian slave war and the Spartan war. Spartacus, the slave leader, is a hero who dares to resist the slave owners. As a gladiator slave, Spartacus was unwilling to be unfair in fate, unwilling to be a toy amused by nobles, unwilling to be imprisoned in a cage and eager for freedom, for which he paid his practice and life.
The slave uprising was suppressed, and finally Spartacus died in battle. Spartacus had 6,000 soldiers as prisoners, deprived of the opportunity to become slaves again, and they were crucified, from Rome to Capua. Although these uprisings were finally suppressed, they still played a positive role in the treatment of slaves.
Realizing that intense oppression and exploitation will inevitably lead to fierce resistance, the ruling class decided to give slaves a certain living space, allow slaves to have certain property, allow slaves to get married and allow slaves to redeem their freedom through labor. Their careers are also much easier. Compared with the previous oppression, they have a glimmer of hope for life, but in fact, the essence has not changed, just a little more expectation. Most slaves are still the same as usual.
