I'm pretty convinced that the only reason Rome isn't remembered primarily as the first great slave empire and its downfall celebrated as a world-historic liberation is that we still live under the hegemony of the second great slave empire (I mean Western Europe and North America as a whole here) which is totally unwilling to wrestle with the way its power was and continues to be drawn from the blood and sweat of enslaved people

Exactly thank you this is perfect

And for the record this empire spans the globe now. Modern slavery is entire countries of people and it must be ended
