In conclusion, the Roman Empire's interactions with other empires along the Silk Road had a positive impact on its economy and the culture that permeates modern society. The increase in gross income and other economic returns from trade, along with the cultural repositories, made Rome the pinnacle of influence in the entire world. For this reason, we can attribute the globalization of trade relations and assimilation of various cultures in contemporary societies to the ancient interactions that occurred across societies. Understanding the significance of the Silk Roads is crucial, as they not only significantly influenced the Roman Empire's destiny but also shaped the current world.

Abstract The issue of gender inequality in the workplace has recently attracted scholarly attention globally. In Nigeria, cultural norms and institutional structures are co-dependent and affected by the notion of gender roles, which leads to disparities in work opportunities, treatment, and wages. This study explores the issue of gender inequality in the Nigerian workplace and the impact of gender roles in advancing this inequality. A sample of 130 professionals, including CEOs, managers, HR professionals, and employees in various sectors are recruited to contribute to a deeper understanding of the effects of inequality on women’s representation in the workplace, persistent stereotyping, and discriminatory practices. Using a mixed methods approach, data is collected through online surveys on the following variables: career development, workplace culture, and attitudes toward gender roles. The findings provide valuable insights for future initiatives to advance inclusivity and equity as well as adding to the discourse on gender equality in Nigerian workplaces.
