How much did slaves cost in ancient Rome?

In Ancient Rome, slaves were a commodity with very uneven demand and supply. Unlike wine, wheat, and other products of constant demand, the price of slaves of the same quality (age, health, strength, and skills) could vary greatly, even by an order of magnitude. If the Roman Empire had conducted a victorious war and captured many prisoners who were immediately enslaved, the prices of slaves would have sharply fallen. However, if there had been no wars for a long time and pirates and bandits were wiped out (for example, after the “Pirate War” by Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus in the 60s BC), then the ancient Roman slave market stagnated and prices for “speaking tools” rose. <a href="https://medium.com/@ancient.rome/how-much-did-slaves-cost-in-ancient-rome-cf872358a0c2">Click Here</a>
