To determine the slave population (1/3 estimate) for 70 BC, we need to divide the given slave population by 3. Looking at the table, we see that the slave population for 70 BC is stated as 1,500,000.
To find the 1/3 estimate of the slave population, we need to perform the following calculation:
1,500,000 / 3 = 500,000
Therefore, the correct answer is:
C. 600,000 slaves.
