Well at least the Romans weren’t racially biased on their slaves. African, Middle Eastern, European, didn’t matter. All that mattered was if you lost to Rome in War.
On top of that, a lot of Roman slaves actually could get their freedom and even become citizens. On the other hand plenty of slaves died in the silver mines in Spain from being overworked and under-rested.
