It is difficult to understand exactly what you mean by what did the Romans slaves were.

Slaves were war captives and were part of the loot of victorious war. When Rome's imperial expansion stopped, the supply of slaves dwindled.

Most of the slaves were bought by rich land owners and worked on the large landed estates. The houses of the rich (domus) had many slaves doing as many as fifty different jobs. Miners were slaves. Some slaves with skills worked in state administrative jobs.
