Abstract

The concept of slavery which first appeared in Hammurabi Laws became an important factor in the world of Greece and Rome. The Greek people began to found colonies around The Black Sea for some economic and political reasons from the 7th century B.C. on. These colonies which were considered as agoras (markets) instead of residential areas developed economic, cultural, political and commercial relations with the people of this region. There wasn’t any slave trade or slave market in the Black Sea Region until the 7th century B.C. However, the settlement of Greeks in this region resulted in the appearance of slavery around The Black Sea region. So, slavery began to be used as a trade factor among the people who lived in The Black Sea region.
