Women in Ancient Rome had limited rights compared to men. They were primarily responsible for managing the household and raising children. While some women could own property and run businesses, their legal status was often tied to their male relatives, such as fathers or husbands. Education for women varied, with some receiving instruction in literature and music, but many were expected to focus on domestic duties. Despite these restrictions, women in Ancient Rome could exert influence in social and political spheres, especially through their relationships with powerful men. Notable figures like Livia Drusilla, the wife of Emperor Augustus, played significant roles behind the scenes, shaping policies and public life.
