"Ronan women had no status in early times and all their possessions belonged to their husbands after they were married," Miss Winnie D. Lowrance, assistant professor of Latin at William Jewell College said in an interview Tuesday.
'Roman Women Had No Status'
"They couldn't own property or inherit anything and hold it themselves," she explained. "If they were not married and inherited property, a male guardian was chosen to administer it. Women stayed home and kent house."
Miss Lowrance will talk on "The Economic Position of Roman Women" at the 51st annual meeting of the Classical Assn. of Kansas and Western Missouri on the KU campus Saturday.
"I will trace the economic status of women from 500 B. C. to the beginning of the early Christian era" (around 31 B. C.) Miss Lowrance said.
Despite her handicaps, a Roman matron of the property class had the highest social position of all the women in the ancient world, Miss Lowrance said.
"She did not dine with her husband's guests, but she could receive them in the drawing room of her home," she explained.
The change in the economic status of Roman women came about as the result of legislation and changes sometimes campaigned for by the women themselves, she said.
"In 109 B. C., the Oppian Law, which said that women could not own more than half an ounce of gold, wear colored garments, or ride in a horse-drawn carriage within a mile of Rome, was repealed." Miss Lowrance said. "To get it repealed, women gathered in groups on the streets of Rome and stopped senators to ask them to do away with it. Romans believed in law and did things in an orderly fashion."
Complete freedom also came about with the increase in wealth and number of slaves and as a result of new ideas coming from contacts with other Mediterranean peoples, she said.
"By the beginning of the early Christian era, Roman women were free." Miss Lowrance said.
