Women's Works:What Were Those of Ancient Rome?

The Fates were depicted as weavers. In Ancient Rome, weaving was one of the typical female works

Not all and not always the women of Ancient Rome they stayed at home and did not work outside, on the contrary there were professions practiced almost exclusively by the female sex.

A typical femineus labor of antiquity, and Rome was no exception, was weaving, although in the last period of the Republic this was entrusted almost exclusively to slaves, who had to sew clothes for the rich under very strict rules.

However, women also did other jobs, including those of combing machines and flower crown packaging machines, while others were quite frequently employed as workers in the ceramic workshops and in the workshops where tiles were made.
