In order to understand Procopius' s feminine philosophy, we must return to early period first. Roman women were in a paradoxical position for a long time in Roman society. Father and daughter of Roman society: Within the women and elite families, Judith P. Hallet describes the role of Roman women in the Republican era. These depictions are very similar to Procopius' ideal "Roman" women's traditional concept, so it is worth despite the temporal distance. Rome is a male-led patriarchal society, but through long tradition, women of the upper class can respect and exercise considerable political power. Women in aristocratic Romans can influence husbands and fathers as wives and daughters, but they act as mothers and sisters, claiming the most civil influence. However, the authority of women is limited, and speaking on your behalf has the risk of being condemned as insult, adultery, greed.

In the early 5th century BC, Roman women possessed land, wrote their own intention, and could appear as their supporters, but often received male support. Roman women got married very quickly - only 12 years old in the upper class. Under the rule of Augustus emperor, marriage law was enacted. These laws forbid men to divorce with adulterous wives and prohibit others from marrying a divorced woman. It is only in some cases that Roman women can legally manage their finances - until the upper class women give birth to three children, four Roman women and local women It is limited to 5 people. Death at birth is not uncommon. Half of newborns are not alive in the first 12 months.
