What definition of "chattel slavery" are you using? By the standard definition (slaves can be bought and sold) the Greek and Roman practice qualifies.
Apparently, a really stupid definition.
When I've heard experts talk about about the differences between ancient slavery and antebellum slavery, "chattel slavery" was used exclusively to refer to the latter - which was also described as harsher (measured by the difference between slave and typical underclass).
But I can't find any cites to support my previous understanding of the difference between ancient and antebellum slavery. Adjusting beliefs accordingly.
