Romans

Unlike Sparta, the men of Rome did not devote their whole life to the city-state. Parterfamilias was the "father family" in ancient Rome, who had unlimited power over his household. This included life or death. The wife was the only person that may not have been under the man's full power, if she was still under the authority of her father. The power was worshiped by the family and by the father. The power of man was not only worshiped in their family life, but also in the community. Motherhood was very important in Rome too. Matron  is the title of honor given to a married woman in ancient Rome. She was worshiped alongside her husband. She lived a life that was not as high as her husband but she was also supposed to give to her community and her family too.
