The role of women?

[richsc]

I have good treatise from Dr. John de Felice "Roman Hospitality: The Professional Women of Pompeii" which goes into the complexities of the levels of citizenship. Apparently, a woman could own a caupona, for example, but not work in it without losing some citizenship rights. I won't attempt to paraphrase the arguments, but it is worthwhile reading for the technicalities of marriage, ownership, citizenship, etc. <p></p><i></i>
