Women's Role In Ancient Rome

Decent Essays
In ancient Rome, women had a very limited public role in ancient Rome, which resulted in them being named much less than men in Roman history. Women had no say in politics and were not allowed to vote, and were not allowed to hold political power. However, those from more wealthy and powerful families, held some power in private negotiations.
A woman was always under control by the paterfamilias, which was usually her father. However when she was married, the power shifted from her father to her husband, but in the later stages the of Ancient Rome, the woman could choose whether or not she would remain under control by her husband or her father, but no matter who she chose, the husband or father would always reign supreme.

    Legendary Foundation of Rome Republic vs. Historical Realities and Women. I will attempt to compare the legendary foundation of the republic of Rome described by Livy in a document called The Rape of Lucretia with the historical realities described in The History of Western Societies, a text book. I will also look at the structure of the Roman family and views on women. I will show that the description by Livy and the realities of Rome are very close and my hope is that you will be able to see how Livy’s myth could be plausible. I also hope that you will be able to see in my argument that women at this time were no more than a piece of property with minimal rights, but there was an aspect of respect as to the need for and devotion of women…

    Women always have kept the most important part in any societies. Naturally, women have been responsible for the perpetuation of the society, and they also can be seen as the focal point of worship in some ancient religions. However, societies of ancient Rome viewed women differently from some societies of past eras.

Women characters in the haunted house include Philematium (a girl of joy), Scapha (her maid, an old hag), and Delphium (a girl of joy to Callidamates).…

Authentic patriotism is not an opinion, It’s an action.” I can honestly say both are important because thinking are thoughts and actions are acts but actions are what's more important. A person may think something but not act on it for whatever fear they have.…

    Although, political influence was made available to upper class Roman women, these freedoms weren’t available to all classes of women. Similar to India, other classes of women were granted freedoms through religious means. In Pompeii, there is evidence of multiple cults who accepted many women into their ranks. For example, the cult of Dionysus encouraged its followers to temporarily abandon their inhibitions through drunkenness, wild dancing, and unrestrained sexuality (257). Unfortunately, the initiation into these cults could get quiet intense.…

The Tragedy of Julius Caesar takes place in ancient Rome, where women were not supposed to speak their minds and share their thoughts.

    Throughout the development of Rome the power transferred from an Empire to a more democratic society (Lane,2015.). Only men took part in Politics, and most other things outside of the home.
