the overwatcher will be in charge
The most usual reason for a master to free a slave would be as a reward for the good work that had been done by the slave. Masters are not required to reward their slaves, but they still may be generous enough to do so. There are also a number of cases in which slaves inherit their freedom when their owner dies, on the principle that it is enough for the slave to have served the master for the master's entire lifetime, without having to also then become the slave of the master's heir. Again, that is not required, but it is a reasonable act of kindness that costs the master nothing.
yes, he was he owned slaves.
The slave master and overseers
Slaves did anything their masters wanted them to do from giving them a foot rub to going to plow the fields. Anything the slave master wanted.
As many as they wanted, as long as they had enough.

TBH, I think that slaves gain their master's because they get whipped and slapped if they don't do what they are asked by the master. I mean, a master might bribe the slave into believing and trusting him/her.
Slaves may or may not have been allowed to marry by their masters.One thing to realize is slaves were their master's property and if the master chose to he could breed his slaves as he did his other living property (e.g. animals, plants). This would not involve marriage and whether or not the slave was already "married", that slave would have to have sex with whomever the master chose to breed them with (which may be either slave or free).
Branded slaves are slaves that have had a red hot piece of metal stamped into their skin to symbolize that they are a certain persons slave or if the slave gets away he/she could be returned to their Master.
There were slave marriages, but they did not depend on Roman law, they depended upon the master's okay. The marital arrangement for slaves was called "contubrium" and a marriage between freedmen and slaves was called "concubinatus".There were slave marriages, but they did not depend on Roman law, they depended upon the master's okay.

The slave master typically referred to the slave as "slave" or by their given name. However, it is important to note that slaves were often dehumanized and derogatory terms were used to degrade and demean them.
