Did women in ancient rome have greater freedom than athenian women?

Answer 1

Definitely yes. The Roman women did not need their husband's permission to leave the house and were present at dinners and public events. They could own a business and they could own property. They could free slaves and make a will. Roman women could be socially and even politically (Behind the Scenes) active whereas the Athenian women were mostly confined to their own wing of their house and domestic duties.

Answer 2

Women had almost the same freedoms in ancient Rome as the men. They could not vote or hold public office or join the army. They had access to everything else; they could own property, make a will, fee slaves, own a business, initiate a lawsuit. Although in the business of law suits it was customary for a woman to hire a male lawyer to represent her, women lawyers were not unheard of.
