-
True

False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In ancient Rome, it was common for men to have and wear more piercings than women. This was a cultural practice and a way for men to display their wealth, status, and masculinity. Men would often wear earrings, nose rings, and even multiple piercings on their ears.

This cultural difference in piercing practices between men and women in Rome supports the statement that men in Rome would have and wear more piercings than women.Rate this question:
