    • 1990, Miguel López de Azcona, La Minería Hispana. Datos Históricos, page 263:
      Una demostración de la recluta entre esclavos y galeotes es el encuentro en las minas de cadenas y argollas romanas. El servilismo era la base del trabajo. Durante el imperio romano se dificultó la minería por la escasez de esclavos, produciendo en Europa una escasez de oro, plata e incluso hierro.
      One demonstration of recruitment among slaves and galley convicts is the discovery in the mines of Roman chains and shackles. Servitude was the foundation of labor. During the Roman Empire, mining became more difficult due to the scarcity of slaves, resulting in a shortage of gold, silver, and even iron throughout Europe.
