Women of Ancient Rome : To Survive under the Patriarchy

The women of Ancient Rome, were obliged to maintain the 'Mos maiorum', the established order of things. Romulus himself was believed to have devised the almost indissoluble marriage rite, the 'Confarreatio', which put a wife under the absolute power of her husband. She could not divorce him, but he could divorce her.
