Can you edit this paragraph PLEASE :) (VERY SHORT)?
In ancient Rome, slaves were at the very bottom of the social pyramid. They were imported from foreign countries such as Britain and Egypt, then sold to the families of wealthy Patricians. The jobs of slaves varied greatly from domestic service, such as house cleaning and cooking, to construction work. They were strictly forbidden from questioning the authority of their master and were liable to be killed if they did. A slave could be freed of their service by two possible methods. Either they could save money to buy their freedom, or their master could voluntarily dismiss them. Between 73 BCE and 71 BCE, the slaves of Ancient Rome led a mive revolt and were successful to some extent.
