Men Were Powerful, Women Were Not
In Roman society, there was a major gender power imbalance. Men held the majority of power and authority within the family. They had control over important decisions such as arranging marriages, divorcing their wives, and even deciding the fate of newborns if they didn’t fancy another child or couldn’t afford the addition to the family.

Women, on the other hand, had limited rights and freedoms. They were expected to marry, bear children, and manage the household. Women were often relegated to domestic roles such as nursing, serving, or crafting.
