Ummm...first roman control over slaves was nothing like you are postulating in this thread.
Second even with a looser standard of control there were runaway slaves and slave rebellions.
The Spartican slave rebellion threatened the EXISTENCE of the empire...
Slave revolts happen...mage slave revolts <shudder>...
Even in a high magic setting...magically scanning EVERY live birth...that doesnt happen in the first world now...
