Explanation:

1- In the 14th century, in Italy, a cultural movement that favored a renewed interest in ancient Latin emerged: Humanism. Already started by Petrarca, its greatest exponents were Poggio Bracciolini, Lorenzo Valla, Marsilio Ficino and Coluccio Salutati. Here, the classical language began to be the subject of profound studies that marked the birth, in fact, of classical philology.

In the Modern Age, Latin was still used as the language of culture and science, but it was gradually replaced by local languages. In Latin wrote, for example, Nicolaus Copernicus and Isaac Newton. Galileo was among the first scientists to write in a language other than Latin (in Italian, around 1600), and Oersted was the last to write in Latin, in the first half of the nineteenth century.

2- Slaves, who had no legal capacity, were part of the house as property. Women, in turn, could be citizens, but their work was carried out within the home, in the raising of children.

3- The slaves were the absolute property of their owner. They lacked of the rights to have legal personality, property, and even their own family. The Roman slave had no right to marriage, to kinship - he could not exercise paternity or motherhood - nor to property. In turn, women who were born free were citizens, although they could not vote or hold public office.
