Women in ancient Rome

When You rent an apartment in Rome, during Your stay in the Eternal City, You'll realize the greatness of Rome thanks to the many archaeological wonders that you can visit in the town.

In Rome, women were regarded by men, except in cases of girls belonging to wealthy families, mainly according to their ability to be mothers.

Roman women spent their day exclusively in the house, occupied by daily tasks. Chastity and purity (privacy, decency) were the characteristics of good wife, who had to not interfere in the life of her husband. Women from the wealthiest families could have slaves to do the most tiring household tasks, while women of the people had to do everything by themselves. The education of children, however, was not suited to their task, in fact after the first few years of life, this was delegated to others. This quasi one-dimensional role of women does not distinguish Rome from other ancient societies, or, more generally, by most human societies before the emancipation of women in the industrial era.

Religious submission and subservience family are inextricably linked, the woman does not have a public life, it is prohibite to her to speak in public and teaching. Eve was to be seduced by sin, not Adam, revealing a weakness of character, typical of women, not suited to supporting roles or public to express their opinions.
