A day in Ancient Rome began with breakfast, and depending on whether you are upper class patrician or lower class plebian , breakfast was dependent on what was affordable. After breakfast, adults might venture down to the Forum to do their shopping and banking. The Forum was the main marketplace and business center, as well as a place for public speaking, as ancient Romans were considered great orators. It was also used for festivals and religious ceremonies. While the adults were busy at The Forum, the children attended school.
Freeborn women in ancient Rome were citizens cives , [2] but could not vote or hold political office. But while Roman women held no direct political power, those from wealthy or powerful families could and did exert influence through private negotiations. As is the case with male members of society , elite women and their politically significant deeds eclipse those of lower status in the historical record. Inscriptions and especially epitaphs document the names of a wide range of women throughout the Roman Empire, but often tell little else about them.
Marriage in ancient Rome conubium was a strictly monogamous institution: a Roman citizen by law could have only one spouse at a time. The practice of monogamy distinguished the Greeks and Romans from other ancient civilizations, in which elite males typically had multiple wives. Greco-Roman monogamy may have arisen from the egalitarianism of the democratic and republican political systems of the city-states. It is one aspect of ancient Roman culture that was embraced by early Christianity , which in turn perpetuated it as an ideal in later Western culture. Marriage had mythical precedents , starting with the abduction of the Sabine Women , which may reflect the archaic custom of bride abduction.
