Explanation:
The slaves in the Roam Empire were treated much differently than the slaves in the other places, and they also had much more opportunities in life. One characteristic of the Roman slaves was that they were able to pay off their slavery through work or through engaging in organized fights for entertainment. A slave was able to gain freedom after working for certain amount of years, and once he/she had accomplished that, the slave was free, and had the same rights and opportunities as all other citizens. Also, some slaves, usually the ones that were very good fighters, had military experience, or had good build, were trained to be gladiators. They were fighting against each other or against dangerous wild animals in rings with the purpose to entertain the public. If they managed to have certain amount of wins, they were granted freedom and were free men.
