It might be worth having a wee look about here. It's a British Museum thing.

Nope. There were very few slaves in Ancient Egypt. In fact, the lack of slaves may be a reason as to why their society did so well.
Some scholars say there were no slaves at all, however, I think there were probably some from south of Nubia and others from battles with northern empires.
Stands to reason, really :dabs:

As I recall the gladiators were also well paid professionals. In fact wasn't it almost the WWE of it's day, only with real fighting.
