Detailed explanation-1: -What did Roman women do in the home? They were the head of the family and controlled what everyone in the household did. They took care of the home, either by themselves or with help from slaves. They made decisions about how the household should be run.
Detailed explanation-2: -Women could be honoured for being priestesses or family members and had some citizen rights. Slaves, by contrast, had no legal or social standing at all and could be treated as beasts of burden by their masters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Loincloths, known as subligacula or subligaria could be worn under a tunic. They could also be worn on their own, particularly by slaves who engaged in hot, sweaty or dirty work. Women wore both loincloth and strophium (a breast cloth) under their tunics; and some wore tailored underwear for work or leisure.
