Answer:

The slave trade negatively impacted the economy in Rome.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slave trade negatively impacted the economy in Rome because, normal people couldn't find jobs to pay taxes. People who had slaves to aid in production would rather have the slaves work for free than hire workers, so average workers in Rome wouldn't get money, and couldn't pay taxes, therefore negatively impacting the economy.

Answer:Slavery in ancient Rome played an important role in society and the economy. Besides manual labor, slaves performed many domestic services, and might be employed at highly skilled jobs and professions. Accountants and physicians were often slaves. Slaves of Greek origin in particular might be highly educated.
