Answer 1

Which one

Answer 2

Rome primarily acquired most of their slaves through the conquest of enemies. As the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire expanded through military campaigns, they would capture individuals from conquered territories and bring them back to Rome as slaves. This practice was a significant source of the slave population in ancient Rome. While there were other sources of slaves, such as piracy and trade, the majority came from warfare and conquest.
