5People in History: A Slave in Ancient Rome
Slavery was an i[blank_start]mportant[blank_end] part of Roman c[blank_start]ivilization[blank_end]. Millions of slaves worked for the p[blank_start]atricians[blank_end]. They had no r[blank_start]ights[blank_end] and were completely controlled by their ma[blank_start]sters[blank_end].
People became slaves in different ways. Some were c[blank_start]aptured[blank_end] in battle and others were b[blank_start]ought[blank_end] and sold by t[blank_start]raders[blank_end]. Sometimes c[blank_start]riminals[blank_end] were sentenced to a life of slavery as p[blank_start]unishment[blank_end] for serious offences. Others were b[blank_start]orn[blank_end] into slavery.
Slaves had to do all kinds of work. Depending on skills slaves could be trusted as c[blank_start]hild[blank_end] carers, t[blank_start]eachers[blank_end], c[blank_start]ooks[blank_end] or d[blank_start]octors[blank_end]. Many G[blank_start]reek[blank_end] scholars were bought as p[blank_start]rivate[blank_end] t[blank_start]utors[blank_end] for rich children. Slaves like these were often t[blank_start]reated[blank_end] well and allowed to earn f[blank_start]reedom[blank_end] after a certain period of time. Some masters wrote in their slaves w[blank_start]ill[blank_end] that upon their d[blank_start]eath[blank_end] slaves could be set free.
A ceremony called m[blank_start]anumission[blank_end] was held to mark the freedom of a slave. Slaves were set free when touched with a special stick called a v[blank_start]indicta[blank_end]. They also wore a straw cap called the cap of l[blank_start]iberty[blank_end].
For many slaves however life consisted of tough m[blank_start]anual[blank_end] labour in salt mines and quarries. They often d[blank_start]ied[blank_end] at a young age. They were usually bought at s[blank_start]lave[blank_end] markets where they were paraded in front of masters. The stronger and yonuger slaves were always more e[blank_start]xpensive[blank_end].
Other slaves chosen to become g[blank_start]ladiators[blank_end], which offered better conditions during training and a possible path to freedom, but many died before they could reap the benefits.- Amportant

6Housing:
A rich Roman's house was called a d[blank_start]omus[blank_end]. Beyond the hall was an entrance called the a[blank_start]trium[blank_end]. There was a p[blank_start]eristyle[blank_end] (garden) at the back. The kitchen was called a c[blank_start]ulina[blank_end] and the bedrooms c[blank_start]ubicula[blank_end].
The houses were beautifully decorated with m[blank_start]urals[blank_end] and m[blank_start]osaics[blank_end]. They usually had running water from the a[blank_start]queduct[blank_end] system.
Most Romans lived in i[blank_start]nsulae[blank_end] (modern day flats). Most were around five or six stories high. Stepping stones were placed along the road by these insulae to avoid the rubbish and dirt.- Aomus

12The Colosseum:
Games were held in specially built arenas usually between g[blank_start]ladiators[blank_end]. After some time a[blank_start]mphitheaters[blank_end] were built to hold these games. The largest of these stadiums was The C[blank_start]olosseum[blank_end]. Sometimes gladiators fought blindfolded or against wild a[blank_start]nimals[blank_end]. The e[blank_start]mperor[blank_end] decided if the winning gladiator should live or die by giving him a t[blank_start]humbs[blank_end] up or a thumbs down. After many fights some gladiator s[blank_start]laves[blank_end] were presented with a w[blank_start]ooden[blank_end] s[blank_start]word[blank_end] signalling their freedom.- Aladiators
