Roman women were primarily expected to be wives and mothers, but they were able to have property rights. While they were largely excluded from formal political power (such as voting), they could own property and manage businesses, especially once they reached a certain social status or if they were widowed. However, their societal roles were largely defined by their relationships with men and family obligations.
