1. Being a woman within the Ramon time period, you might have been considered to be half of an actual citizen; higher than a slave, yet lower than a man. Plus, women also had to pay taxes, even though they were not allowed government positions, but life was not all bad for females. Women had the right to own property, to engage in business, and to obtain a divorce, but their legal rights varied over time. Marriages were an important form of political alliance during the Republic.
A woman's role within ancient Rome was to cater to their husbands needs for they did not leave their home until married off. Once with their husband, the wife was treated just as the daughter of the household would be treated. Yet in this time period, women were not to "work" for that was something slaves and the poor did who needed the money. So a women's role was to pay taxes, manage the household, yet obey the husband.
Well, there's a few typos in the post. Buuuuttt, other than that, it sounds pretty good. Good job Dino. ((:
