It is certain that men in less well-to-do houses worked on the land. For them, 'free time' was a luxury. One should also bear in mind that they were under an obligation to help run the city. Their amusement must have been limited to the not infrequent public festivals. Obviously an adult male was not in the house much. There was little for him to do there as the women of the house attended to all practical matters. |
