The women of Ancient Rome were treated like a lower class. They got second hand education. They were usually married by 12 years old and most died giving birth to their children (they were expected to have as many babies as they could because not many of them would survive). For a while they weren't able to make any kind of purchases (clothes, jewelry). Basically, they stayed home and took care of the children and were seen but not heard.
