Slavery never weakened the Roman Republic or any other form of government. Do not be misled into thinking that ancient slavery was the same as modern slavery. Every society in the ancient world had a system of slavery which was vital to their culture. The ancients considered slavery a social class or more correctly, a social underclass. The physical strength, mental abilities and expertise in the sciences, such as medicine and architecture helped built the great empires and civilizations. The Romans appreciated the abilities of their slaves and for the most part treated them well with every slave having the opportunity to either buy or be granted freedom if they chose. It is a mistake to judge ancient slavery by our present day standards or to impose our present day mores on the ancients.
