I guess I’m interested in what proportion of the enslaved are freed. Presumably wildly different between different roles. Agricultural slaves for example presumably not freed nearly as much as slaves in urban areas.
Ah. In Sparta: effectively none. In Athens: some but a very small number. Impossible to quantify, but very, very small. In Rome: still a small number, but large enough that freedpersons are a noticeable class of people both in Rome and Italy more broadly.
Presumably in Athens if you were a slave by reason of being a prisoner of war you had some chance of being ransomed by your home city. Very different dynamic to Rome.
Estimating numbers is beyond the powers of the evidence, but I think it is safe to guess that the Roman rate of manumission is at least an order of magnitude higher than in Athens. Note that Roman freedpersons become citizens, while Athenian ones become metics (non-citizens).
