Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The early fourth-century Roman Empire, under Emperor Diocletian, introduced wage and price controls in an attempt to curb inflation and stabilize the economy. This was part of a broader program of reforms aimed at strengthening the empire's economic and administrative structures. Other options listed, such as a single paper currency, legislation allowing workers to change jobs, cutbacks in military spending, tax cuts for businesses, and retirement pensions, do not accurately reflect the economic reforms of that period.
