jackofalltrades, 1 month ago I learned a fascinating fact the other day. It is estimated that during the Roman Empire 20% to 30% of Italy's population were slaves. For the empire as a whole that share was between 10% and 15%. In these times, even modest Roman households might expect to own two or three slaves. 1/13
