What kind of work did slaves do in ancient rome?

Answer 1

They did many of the things that are still done today, as the Roman society was very advanced. They were farmers, shopkeepers, restaurant operators, bakers, politicians, housewives, senators, and soldiers, among other things.

Answer 2

Farmers in Ancient Greece would have grown things like olives and grapes to make olive oil and wine. Greece's poor soil meant that farmer's didn't grow the variety of plants that they do elsewhere.

Answer 3

Life was hard in those days- it took a huge effort just to raise and prepare food and make clothing, so most people worked in that area. I.e.

farmers, vintners, sheep and goat herd, weavers, millers,traders and merchants,

metal workers, smiths,masons, wood-workers, cobblers, fishermen, carpenters and course, house-hold drudges work- cooking, sewing, butchering, washing, cleaning.

There were some more specialized jobs- armor and weapon makers, soldiers, sailors, lawyers, physicians, priests, money-lenders, tax collectors, perfume and dye makers, architects , engineers, scribes, Accountants , prostitutes, etc.

Rich people had Greek slaves that checked childrens' spelling, and if it was wrong, the children were severely punished.

Answer 4

The ancient Roman jobs were the same as the jobs today with the exception of today's jobs that require computer or electrical knowledge.
