WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -It was typical for Roman children of wealthy families to receive their early education from private tutors. However, it was common for children of more humble means to be instructed in a primary school, traditionally known as a ludus litterarius.

Detailed explanation-2: -While the poor in Ancient Rome did not receive a formal education, many still learned to read and write. Children from rich families, however, were well schooled and were taught by a private tutor at home or went to what we would recognise as schools. In general, schools as we would recognise them, were for boys only.

Detailed explanation-3: -In what ways were Roman children taught? Roman education began in the home, where the father taught his sons reading, writing, arithmetic, and moral values. The Roman mother taught her daughters the duties of marriage and how to manage a household, with much emphasis upon traditional Roman virtues and moral precepts.

Detailed explanation-4: -Under Roman law, enslaved people had no personal rights and were regarded as the property of their masters. They could be bought, sold, and mistreated at will and were unable to own property, enter into a contract, or legally marry. Most of what we know today comes from texts written by masters.
