1- Observations
 
Viria Acte's past as a slave gives rise to the study of the working conditions of slaves. In this occasion, we will use a fictional slave in charge of cooking in a Roman tavern. 

This activity is a small introduction to the eating habits of the Romans. It can be completed with the vocabulary activity Domitia's dinner which, like this one, has been created for 1st of ESO. 
 
Podría hacerse también en otros cursos de Cultura Clásica, en el Bloque Raíces clásicas del mundo actual. Vida cotidiana o en el Bloque El presente de la civilización latina de 4º de Latín.

It has been thought for Classical culture in 1st of ESO because of its simplicity and because it can be used as an introduction to Greek and Roman eating habits. The interesting thing about this exercise is relating their habits to the current ones; for instance, there were already fast-food establishments. They can also think about the differences between tabernae, cauponae and popinae. It could also be used in other levels in Classical Culture in the Block Classical roots of today's world. Everyday life or in the Block The present of Latin civilisation in 4th of ESO Latin. 

2- Context

One of the key factors which led to the greater independence of Roman women in the Imperial period was their ability to own and manage their own money. 

The epigraphy of Roman Hispania in the 2nd century offers numerous examples of professions carried out by women who were also, in some cases, owners of their own businesses. To cite just a few names, we can find wet nurses (nutrices), such as Secundilla (Gades) or Clovatia Irena (Emerita Augusta); hairdressers (ornatrices), such as Philtates (Lucus Augusti, Lugo) or Turpa Thyce (Gades); menders (sarcinatrices), such as Latinia Da[.... ] (Corduba); professionals related to the production, dissemination and trade of olive oil, especially in Baetica, such as Accilia Felicissima, Caecilia Charitosa, Cornelia Placida or Caecilia Trophime, among many others; owners of land in production, such as C. Plancia Romana (Fiñana, Almería) or Aurelia Iuventiana (Arauzo de Torre, Burgos); owners of artisan workshops of all kinds _from gilding, textile and footwear workshops to the manufacture of marble pieces, like our Viria Acte _, such as Aurelia Vivia Sabina (domina fabricae marmorariae) (Terena, Portugal), Cornelia Cruseidis (domina inauratoris) (Tarraco) or Valeria Severina, who was also patroness of the guild, (domina fabricae textilis et calceamenti) (Segisama Iulia, Burgos) to women who practised medicine and obstetrics, such as the Hispanic Julia Saturnina (Emerita Augusta) or later women, such as those belonging to other times and places, Primila, Empiria and Venuleya Sosis, qualified as medici; Salustia Ateneis, obstetrix; Naevia Clara, medicaphilologa or Aurelia Alexandra Zozima, cited ‘for her medical knowledge’.

We also find other professions: caementarius (bricklayer): Iulia (Conimbriga, Coimbra); purpuraria (manufacture of purple): Baebia Veneria (Gades); lintearia (weaver or linen merchant): Fulvia (Tarraco); pictor or pistor (painter or baker): Caecilia M [...] (Maresme, Barcino), etc.
