In the year AD 305, Roman officials recorded their findings from a raid on a house church in the North African city of Cirta. Among the objects found were:
Two gold chalices, six silver chalices, six silver urns, a silver cooking-pot, seven silver lamps, two wafer-holders, seven short bronze candle-sticks with their own lights, eleven bronze lamps with their own chains, 82 women’s tunics, 38 capes, 16 men’s tunics, 13 pairs of men’s shoes, 47 pairs of women’s shoes, and 19 peasant clasps.

- What might we guess about the male and female population of early churches based on this record?
