Best Answer

In the household of the rich, Roman daughters, like their mothers, did not have much to do. Slaves did all the chores and even did their hair and make-up. In poor families, the females did the domestic chores and often did activities which helped to earn some money. In the countryside they also worked in the fields. Girls were expected to marry early, often in their early teens.

Why were Roman men required to register their families and slaves and wealth at census time?

The census in Roman times was an income assessment for taxation purposes. Not all men were required to do the registration. It was the patres familias (fathers of the family) who did this. These were oldest male in the family and were the heads of the household. They had to declare the assets of the household, how many family members there were and who they were because these assets belonged to him and because he had authority over the whole family. The other members of the household were not required attend the registration. This made the job of the officials who carried out the census easier and reduced the amount of inconvenience on the citizens. Since the slaves of a household were owned by the household, declaring how many slaves a household had was part of the declaration of the assets of the household. Only rich households could afford to own slaves.
