The Canterbury Tales
You see the theme a lot, sometimes quite literal, like Hyperion, sometimes just a group on an adventure where each member has a story, like LOTR. Also in movies like The Breakfast Club, Love Actually or Snatch
It's only logical

We are talking about the Roman era here, mate. The Romans conquered outside societies and enslaved them. Slavery in this context meant that these "foreigners" could earn Roman citizenship. There were some slaves that held higher esteem than some free citizens in the Roman Empire, most notably doctors.
Slavery was not just whipping people to make them plow the land. It was a very complicated socioeconomical construct and it was very much a "normal" thing. In the late Roman era, slavery grew rampant (because it was profitable) and often children of poor, free citizens were kidnapped into slavery. But in the Roman high tides, around the time of Jezus, it was, for lack if a better word, a rather sophisticated process.
Yeah, we had a guy who did "just Ken" by Ryan Gosling from Barbie. It was not the best song for the moment.
