The difference is that we have the opportunity and the privilege to buy another pair anytime. My shoes are hurting my feet? I can go and buy a comfortable one. The slaves couldn't. That's the difference I think

people should really understand what slavery actually is. It implies another person owns you, can sell you and controls your entire life, including your personal time which you would not have any. While we can talk about labor rights, equating that to slavery does disservice to your arguments because it is laughably out of touch. There is a difference between being a slave where your owner can lawfully beat you to death with a rock for no reason and face no repercussion and having a shitty temporary contract where a company can pay you little money and make you work long hours.

There's a lot of misconceptions about good ol' Spartacus. He wasn't fighting to end slavery (his own land, Thracia practiced slavery). He was only trying to free himself. Nor was it his goal to destroy Rome: he was trying to escape Italy and go somewhere the Romans wouldn't find him and his followers. Every flim and television version I've seen either gets this wrong or deliberately ignores it.

Spartacus is definitely my spirit being. How do I know this you ask? Well! It was many moons ago. When I was still just a wee lad. Attending high-school. I failed my math test on a crisp spring morning. At first I thought all was lost. That I would grow up to be a peasant... Losing call of duty matches every single day. And living with my mom at the age of 35. Yes... All did look bleak as hell. But then I remembered! Spartacus! He wouldn't give up in this final hour. The hour when I needed to triumph more than ever! So went back to school. Asked for the test back. Took up my mighty pen and ruler. And proceeded to never. Give. Up. I spent 15 grueling minutes finishing that math test. And I knew Spartacus was looking down on me... Pleased with my ferverlous attitude. And that ladies and gentlemen. Is how I know Spartacus is my spirit being. The tenacity to never give up. Even in the face of almost certain defeat with a 20 minute math test. But I prevailed. And I stand before you today not as a man who lives with his mother. No. But as a man who lives with his dad instead. Thank you Spartacus.

Maybe in the beginning. But, what gave Spartacus an edge, initially, was that the Romans didn't take him seriously. The first few Roman "armies" sent against him were inexperienced and ill equipped, more like police forces. After, Spartacus' army were done in by their own deluded lust. They had made it to the Alps and could have left Italy, but chose to turn back, thinking they could defeat a real Roman army.

It’s like how certain areas allow you to kill wild boar even without a hunting license cause there is so many and they’re not liked lol. Gladiators did die, but rare. This why the emperors would be pissed and have to either train or preserve their other ones. Slaves did become gladiators and had to fight towards freedom. Depends how well you were liked. If you were a gladiator that wasn’t well liked? Yea you probably got tossed in the arena with some vicious criminals that the emperor knew could take your head off.

Fairly conservative estimates are that in 1 AD, There were 300,000+ slaves in the city of Rome ( which had a population of 900,000) . By most observers, almost as many slaves as freedman. In the Empire, the number of slaves was stunning and they became vital to the Roman economy.

Stop thinking ancient humans were stupid, they were actually highly intelligent for their time period when it came to construction. Architecture was still a profession even back then, and without machines to help guide them, they had to make sure everything was precise and going to design, IE, they paid extra close attention to their craftsmanship and guided the builders every step of the way.

Great video!!! I love the narrative and all the visual aids. Could have mentioned, though, how the early Christian faith in the first century AD considered salves to be equal in status to a free, Roman citizen. The apostle Paul mentioned how in God’s eyes, every man and woman stands on the same level when it comes to human rights. (Colossians 3:11, Galatians 3:28) Taking into account that these beliefs were born in a century where slavery was the norm is very impressive!
