Overlap with concubines?

Aciram does this category not overlap with Category:Concubines? If you look at the article concubinage, you will find that in most societies concubines could be slaves (Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia, Muslim world, Colonial United States, Vikings, Korea etc). So it would seem that most pages with Category:Concubines should also have Category:Slave concubines.VR talk 04:19, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

All concubines were not slaves. In Ancient Rome, for example, a free woman could be a concubine and live with a man without being married to him. She was not a slave. Claudia Acte for example was Neros concubine but not a slave but a freedwoman; other examples are Caenis and Galeria Lysistrate. Concubine is not synonymous with a slave, even though it was in some cultures, such as the Islamic one. --Aciram (talk) 04:29, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
