How did the ancient Roman masters deal with the female slaves they bought? What inhuman treatment will they receive?

Slaves, as the dregs of world culture and history, are still criticized by many people today. Speaking of slaves, I believe that everyone has a lot of topics to talk about. We all know that the status of slaves is far more than those of the lowly people. To the bottom, they often suffer a lot of humiliation and abuse. In the eyes of many owners, their lives are even worth mentioning, and they are even thrown away like garbage, which is really very pitiful. How did the ancient Roman masters deal with the female slaves they bought? That era really didn't treat people as people!

In ancient Rome, all levels are insurmountable. If you are a slave, then you will be a slave in your life, and your children and grandchildren will also be slaves, and you will never change your destiny. In ancient Rome, the "market" for female slaves was much better than for male slaves. Generally speaking, the money for one female slave was enough to buy four or five male slaves. So, what did these female slaves do every day, and what inhuman treatment did they receive? The work they do is not much different from that of modern babysitters, but they are very different in terms of treatment. If you think that is only the case, you are wrong.

And slaves are also divided into grades, young and beautiful women will sell for a good price, followed by strong men, and the last is the elderly and weak women and children. Male slaves were bought back and were able to do some rough work. Ancient slave owners made their fortunes by exploiting slaves. The elderly and frail women and children have no value at all, and the price is the lowest. There is a reason why the price of female slaves is high. In addition to doing some rough work, they also have to face the rubbing of the male master. Of course, only those female slaves who are particularly outstanding will be treated by the male master. The Lord’s venting tool is nothing more.

They have no personal freedom at all. Since they can clearly mark the price, it means that they are a commodity and their status will not be changed by other means. For example, if they are pregnant with their master's child, they will not be expensive by mother and child. After they have a child, they will continue to do things. If you give birth to a girl, you will continue to be a slave with your mother's life. On the contrary, if you are a son, you will be sold in the market. Therefore, even if they do not give up, they cannot change their destiny.

Slaves are also humans, but they are "posted" with a special label. Individuals cannot tolerate being abused every day, so slaves often resist their masters. Previously, there was a law in Rome that stated that if a slave dared to assassinate the slave owner, all the slaves of the slave owner must be sentenced to death. It can also be seen from this that slave rebellions often occurred, and the Romans had to formulate the most severe suppression decree to prevent slaves from revolting. The common ways of resistance of slaves, from light to heavy, are: escape, passivity, and uprising.

In addition, farming certainly does not require too many slaves, so slaves are also used for other purposes. Rome conquered vast areas along the Mediterranean coast, not only expanded its territory, but also expanded its trading market. The expansion of trade made Rome's agriculture, mining, and handicraft industry an urgent need for a large number of laborers, and most of the Roman citizens died in battle, and only slaves were used as labor. Some slaves will be bought by slave owners for various industrial labor. The most tattered house is barely enough food. There is no reasonable rest time, only blind work. Once sick, they will be ruthlessly abandoned.
