At the end of the Republic, ideally austere and virtuous, keeping watch over the household, woman was entirely devoted to her duty of bearing and educating generations of citizens. Then, at the dawn of the Empire, without achieving equality of the sexes, women began to emancipate themselves from the all-encompassing power of men. Increasingly, she managed her own estate, entered into business, took an interest in politics, and exerted influence over men... She now dared to venture outside her home. The veil, which outdoors had formerly covered her almost entirely in the name of modesty, now enveloped her in mystery... She became a seductress. Through her costumes and jewellery, the Roman woman appears to us today in all her diversity: from young girl to matron, from prostitute to priestess, from slave to empress.
