Roman Lady and Slaves, c1910. Slavery in ancient Rome played an important role in Roman society and economy. Slaves performed many domestic services, and might be employed at highly skilled jobs and professions. Under Roman law slaves were considered property and had no legal standing. As such they could be subjected to corporal punishment, sexual exploitation, torture and summary execution. From a 'Pictorial Record of Remarkable Events in The History of the World', published by James Sangster and Co., c1910.
