Women were technically considered citizens, but had few rights compared to men. Their main role was to raise children and run the household. Women had to obey their husbands in all aspects of their lives and anything they owned or earned immediately went to the husband.
After the Punic Wars women gained more self dependence. This happened because when all the men were away fighting women had to take care of running everything and widows received sums of money that they could use themselves. During Emperor Augustus's rule-27BC to 14AD-he introduced strict laws restricting women and taking away their rights.
