There black . duh. The slaves in Rome were not limited from being educated. You are confusing ancient slavery with American slavery. The ancient slaves were often highly educated as they were their master's assistants in many cases. They were also sometimes teachers, physicians and scribes. Many slaves had positions of authority.
Roman slaves did not have many rights. They were enslaved really harshly. The only key factor was that they were allowed to breathe

It was illegal for slaves to be educated. However, many slaves found ways to become educated without their masters knowing. Some masters were kind, to some degree, and allowed their slaves to learn. Those slaves taught other slaves.

Many freed slaves remained on the farms where they had worked as slaves for several reasons: Some masters asked (or demanded) that the newly free slaves stay on the master's property, offering a house and wages. However, by the time the master was done charging the freed slaves for rent and supplies, they received no wages and could not afford to move to another place. Some slaves were not told that they were free. Many freed slaves did not know how to live as free men and women. They would try it for awhile and then return to their former masters. Others stayed with their masters because the master had been good to them and continued to treat them well after emancipation.

It was a time of practically depression for the slaves. Their 'Masters' would use horrible punishments for those attempting escape, many of these punishments would be violent, painful and inhuman, so many, avoided these punishments by avoiding escape.
There is no exact number of black slaves killed by their masters, as historical records are incomplete. However, it is well-documented that violence and brutality were rampant in the institution of slavery, leading to the death of many enslaved individuals at the hands of their masters.
Rough and hard . They had to work unmercifully from sunrise till sunset.
Slaves were treated with kindness and respect as members of the family.
