N the first century CE, during the reign of Emperor Tiberius, silk had become a big problem. The luxury fabric, imported at great cost from China, had become a symbol of decadence and excess among Romans. In order to make their supply of silk last longer, merchants unraveled and re-wove their fabric into thinner, sheer garments. This practice had a side-effect of making the garments nearly transparent.

Seneca the Younger, a writer and imperial advisor, complained of people wearing silk:

"I can see clothes of silk, if materials that do not hide the body, nor even one's decency, can be called clothes. ... Wretched flocks of maids labor so that the adulteress may be visible through her thin dress, so that her husband has no more acquaintance than any outsider or foreigner with his wife's body.”

In the year 14 CE, the Roman historian Tacitus reported that the Imperial Senate made it illegal for men to wear silk, resolving that "Oriental [Eastern] silks should no longer degrade the male sex. "

This prohibition on silk did not last. The demand for silk continued to drive trade between the Roman Empire, China, India, and many places in between. To understand what caused this trade in silk, we need to look at how Chinese silk got to Rome.

Aleks [24]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

What effect does Industrialization and the Cotton gin have on Slavery?

Answer:

Which of the following statements can be inferred from the map below?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

The correct answer is The earliest agricultural societies were able to develop in different climate zones.

This conclusion is evident from the map. For example, agricultural societies were able to develop in both North America and South America. These two continents have very different weather and climate patterns thanks to their geographic location. However, both societies were able to have success due to their ability to adapt to this type of climate.

In a paragraph of 125 words, discuss the relationship between Ukrainian history and geography.
drek231 [11]

Many times, geography and history are relatively synonymous, because several locations have a resounding place in history. For example, the Vietnam War took place in the country of Vietnam. The war itself is titled because of the location. The Vietnamese people are identified by their country, and the events leading up to that war are partly due to its strategic location. In this way, the war cannot be separated from the location in which it took place. Therefore, the relationship between history and geography could be viewed as one in the same. In Urasia, mainly Ukraine, the people were overcome by the soviets and the farmlands were taken and turned into collectives. The farmers who had owned the farm land were forced to work at the collectives and when the people revolted by brning the crops, the soviets left with all of the grain causing millions to perish.

hope this helps!
