المستخلص

کان المجتمع الرومانى ينقسم إلى عدد من الطبقات الاجتماعية، وکانت طبقة العبيد تأتي في آخر تلک الطبقات، وکانوا دائمًا ما يعانون من سوء الأحوال والمعاملة القاسية التي ربما تتصف بغير الآدمية في بعض الأحيان، وکان الخدم في کل مکان ينتمون لطبقة العبيد ويعاملون بنفس المعاملة المتدنية، إلَّا أنه بمرور الوقت بدأ وضع العبيد في التغيُّر، وبدأوا يحصلوا على بعض المزايا ربما لا يحصل عليها الخدم، ومن هنا جاء التساؤل الذي يحاول البحث الإجابة عنه: هل کان کل العبيد خدم وهل کل الخدم بالضرورة کانوا من العبيد؟ وسوف يتم توضيح الإجابة مع إلقاء الضوء على معظم التفاصيل الخاصة بالعبيد لمعرفة التطور الذي طرأ على وضعهم وجعلهم يتميزون عن الخدم.
Roman society was divided into a number of social classes, and the slave class came at the last of those classes, and they always suffered from bad conditions and cruel treatment, which might sometimes be inhumane, and servants everywhere belonged to the slave class and were treated with the same low treatment, except over time, the situation of the slaves began to change and they began to obtain some advantages that the servants might not get. Hence the question that the research is trying to answer, where all the slaves served, and were all the servants necessarily slaves? And the answer will be clarified by shedding light on most of the details of the slaves to know the development that occurred in their situation and making them distinguished from the servants.
