Answer 2

I believe the answer is:

B. They were expected to obey male heads of the household.

C. They raised their children.

E. They worked at home.

The women of the roman empire were expected to fulfil a very limited role in society.

One role is as the caretaker of the household, whose sole purpose is to give pleasure to the husbands and taking care of the children while they are out working. The other role is jobs that related to nursing and designing ( such as tailoring) , which could be done without leaving the household.
