What was a right that a woman had during the roman empire?

1 answer

One right that some women had during the Roman Empire was the right to own property. Married women could own and inherit property independently from their husbands, which was not common in many other ancient societies. They could also engage in business and contracts, as well as make wills and bequeath their property to their children. However, this right was not extended to all women in Roman society, as it was typically only available to women of higher social classes.
