WOMEN in ANCIENT ROME the Other Great
WOMEN IN ANCIENT ROME The other great classical culture was Rome. Its development from a small village on one of the seven hills of Rome to a world-wide empire is a remarkable story. As ancient Rome changed from a monarchy to a republic, and finally an empire, the status of women changed as well. However, at no time were women as restricted as Greek women. Roman legacies to Western Civilization were as numerous and important as the Greek heritage. Roman architecture, education, engineering, governmental structure, law, and the Christian Church have had lasting influences on the rest of the western world. Additionally, Rome became the great transmitter of Greek culture. The mythical story of Rome’s foundation clearly establishes the tone of women’s treatment. Amulius wanted the kingdom of Latium, so he killed the two sons of the king, and required the king’s only daughter, Rhea Silvia, to become a virginal priestess for the Goddess Vesta, deity of the household. When Rhea fell asleep, the Mars, the god of war became overwhelmed by her beauty and seduced her. Rhea gave birth to twins, Romulus and Remus, but Amulius demanded that they be drowned. Instead they were placed on a raft which drifted ashore where they were suckled by a female wolf, and then later raised by a peasant family. Romulus ended up killing his brother, and when he established a village in 753 b.c.e. it was called Rome. As there were not enough women for each man to have a wife, Romulus invited the neighboring Sabine tribe to a barbecue. -

Friendship Between Men and Women in Ancient Rome
Judith Hallett October 1st, 1988 Friendship between Men and Women in Ancient Rome For the non-sexual relationships between Roman men and women, the literary works of the Roman writers (virtually all male) give one impression, but other sources suggest a different picture. Cicero in the De Amicitia and the De Oratore has nothing to say about Laelia, the daughter of one of the main characters (C. Laelius) even though he was well acquainted with her and talks about her father, son-in-law and husband. He has Laelius say that many people see weaker people - such as women, the poor, the unfortunate - needing friendships. There seems to be no sense that women might want amicitia simply for affection. The emphasis in Roman society is on male-male bonding. The feminine form of amicus ("male friend"), amica, is sometimes used between two females, but used by a man it = "sexual partner" (often paid), whereas amicus is primarily a friend, with "lover" as only a minor meaning. (Note the derogatory use of amica of Clodia in Cicero's Pro Caelio.) Friendship, then, is a preserve of the male elite, if one considers only the literary sources. But Cicero's correspondence shows evidence of non-sexual male-female friendship, especially his relationship with Caerellia, whom he calls "necessaria" ("closely-bound relation") rather than "amica". (Cf. Pro Murena where a Vestal Virgin is referred to as necessaria and propinqua.) In writing to Atticus, Cicero refers to Servilia as "tua familiaris", as he does regarding many other women connected with Atticus, though his commonest use of the term "familiaris" is for men. -

Walker 1 Elizabeth Walker Balzer Western Civilization 29 February 2016 Women in Power: The Unique Position of Vestal Virgins in Ancient Rome You see, if there's a good reason for undertaking a dangerous voyage, then women are fearful; their cowardly breasts are chilled with icy dread; they cannot stand on their trembling feet. But they show courageous spirit in affairs they're determined to enter illicitly. If it's their husband who wants them to go, then it's a problem to get on board ship. They can't stand the bilgewater; the skies spin around them. The woman who goes off with her lover of course has no qualms. She eats dinner with the sailors, walks the quarterdeck, and enjoys hauling rough ropes. -
Women in Ancient Rome
Women in Ancient Rome - domus, pater familias, political office, auctoritas Women in Ancient Rome domus, pater familias, political office, auctoritas Ancient Rome Unit There's something tricky about history. That is, it's always a story. Depending on who's telling the story, the story can change. Most of history has been written by very few people. We often do not get to hear from smaller groups or from women. So here's a question: What were women doing during Roman times? Unfortunately, we don't know much about them, especially if they were poor. None of the "important"• people cared enough about them to write too much about them. You can think of women as one of the missing puzzle pieces of Roman history. The picture isn't complete without them, but maybe we can look at the pieces that are around them and figure out what that piece looks like. We can try to figure out what women were up to in the Roman Empire. Let's start in the home. A domus was a Roman upper class house that also acted as a sort of church and meeting house. They could be as small as a shack or they could take up a whole city block. Some were very beautiful with gardens and fountains. For safety, they had no windows facing the streets. As you might expect, Roman men made all of the choices under their roofs, but women took care of the domus, either for a day while their husbands were at work, or for many years, while their husbands were away at war. -

Roman Class Structure Not All Citizens of Rome Were Treated Equally. in Fact, Some People Living in Rome Were Not Citizens At
Roman Class Structure Not all citizens of Rome were treated equally. In fact, some people living in Rome were not citizens at all. People of Rome were divided into groups, each with different rights and privileges under the law. Powerful Patricians The smallest and most powerful group was called the patricians. Patricians were Rome’s elite, a small group of wealthy, powerful people who owned large homes in the city, vineyards in the country, and villas on the coast. The patricians were citizens of Rome, meaning they had the right to vote, and they had certain protections and privileges under the law. Because they were the most educated and privileged group, the patricians were also the ones most likely to become Senators, so they got to make a lot of the laws in the Roman republic. In contrast to the ancient Greek culture, women in ancient Rome were considered citizens, and wealthy women were part of the elite patrician group, although they could not vote or serve as a senator or consul. Second-Class Plebeians Another group of Roman citizens were called plebeians. Plebeians were second-class citizens, meaning that they did not have all the rights and privileges enjoyed by patricians. However, the plebeians had one big advantage: numbers. Because the plebeians made up the largest portion of Roman citizenry – by far – the wealthy patricians learned that they needed to make sure the plebeians were happy, or at least happy enough that they wouldn’t rise up and try to take more power for themselves. Like patricians, plebeians were citizens, so they could vote. -
