Yes, the Romans were equal opportunity punishers. However most of the punishments given to women were of the domestic nature, such as a beating for some breach of conduct. The reason for this was because women were held to higher (or different) standards than men. If a woman transgressed in some way, it reflected on her family, upbringing and status and this was something to be kept quiet. However if a woman were found guilty of a crime that carried the death sentence, she was executed the same as men.
