Abstract
Roman patriarchal mentality created an ideal model of femininity that all Roman women, especially matrons, should follow. This paper aims to identify the keys of such imposed model, to describe the characteristics of an exemplary matron, and also to present some examples of singular women by the end of the Roman Republic.
