Former patriarchal slavery evolved into productive slavery, in which the profit from the slave’s work became significant.

According to the Romans, the slave was simply an insignificant object that could be replaced if necessary. First, it did not have to be paid unlike small-scale peasants, moreover, you did not have to answer for his death. As I mentioned, the benefits of having a slave in plots of land began to be noticed. Such a huge demand for slaves was mainly caused by the development of the latifundial economy and the creation of huge landed estates. This activity was mainly carried out by privateers in the Mediterranean, and sometimes even Romans. The huge demand for this social layer has led to the creation of a new profession, engaged in the hunt for people. Over time, however, the slave became a commodity, a thing ( nullius) that could be bought on the market. So far, the main source of the influx of slaves was war. The turning point in the concept of slavery turned out to be the turn of the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE.
