What is another word for forced labor without pay( and it is not slavery).?

Question

I was just thinking of a word that I had previously used just last year. It is another way to say the act of forced labor without pay, or people that are forced to work without pay. I know it was not slavery or slaves, but it had something to do with the plebeians and peasants of Rome serving the patricians and other members of the higher classes.

Indentured servantry?  That's the only kind of stuff I can come with that involves forced labor and no pay.  It was no better (maybe a little since there was a chance of actually getting freed) than slavery...
