sure youd be pregnant a whole bunch of the time and one of those pregnancies would prolly kill you but at least you could work desperately while being pregnant unlike, say, greek women who were just kind of shunted off into the house and forbidden from having public lives at all

For the region and times, yeah. Still though I'd rather be one of those old Germanic ladies whose job seemed to be sacrificing, making prophecies, and telling dudes when to fight. Unless you're talking about the very wealthy Roman matrons, that'd be a sweet gig.

Again except for the whole "unavoidable, yearly life-threatening medical crises" thing.

Now that I recently finished my education I'm making around $14 an hour, and the idea that some teenager can get a zero-skill job and start getting paid more than I did after years of studying is absurd. If you want to get paid more, go to school, get promoted, or get a job with hazard pay. Otherwise, consume less.

not even. you get glibglobs like caesar coming in and saying "yeah no, lets cut this bread dole BY HALF" and boom. youve got ~400k less romans getting free food. and augustus was angling at getting rid of the thing entirely.
