In ancient Rome and Greece, enslavement was not based on race. Some enslaved people could gain freedom (so not lifelong for all), and indentured servitude involved a fixed term with eventual freedom, unlike chattel slavery in these civilizations. Enslaved people were frequently prisoners of war, foreigners, or those sold into slavery from outside the city-states/empire.
