Women of 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. Despite these restrictions, women played important roles in society. They participated in religious ceremonies and could influence political matters through their relationships with powerful men. Notable women, like Livia Drusilla, the wife of Emperor Augustus, demonstrated that women could wield significant influence behind the scenes.
