Charming, but the guy got nailed for impinging on Roman authority.
Edit: As a woman, I'd prefer Roman patriarchy over the Hebrew version any day.
@Nazani @doctorwhom @warandpeas at least you didn't opt for covering your hair in public for life, as the least of your problems what you might get in that religion
@epistomai @doctorwhom @warandpeas
All things being equal, I'd opt for -
literacy
better medicine, plumbing
right to own, inherit & dispose of
property
All pretty standard for 1st century Roman women.
