Under what condition were Roman women allowed to run businesses?

if they were wealthy

if they were educated

if their husbands were away

if they worked outside the home

The correct answer is A) If they were wealthy

Explanation:

While ancient Rome is generally admired for their liberal values and democratic traditions. However, historians tell us of a very different Rome where men had all the power and women were mostly under the legal protection and control of the men in their households.

However, women from wealthy families did have some advantages. Their husband's influence meant they could work on trade, build a business and even earn money. At times, they could indirectly influence politics as well.

The correct Answer is C) If their husbands were away

Explanation:

A Roman Woman's main job was to take care of the house while their husbands were at work. If the husband was not able to be at work, the wife had to fill in so the family could generate revenue.
