Roman society was patriarchal in that it was dominated by male authority figures, particularly within the family structure where the paterfamilias, or head of the household, held significant power over family members. Women had limited legal rights and were often expected to manage domestic responsibilities rather than participate in public life. Additionally, political and social roles were predominantly reserved for men, reinforcing their dominance in both civic and private spheres. This structure reflected broader societal norms that valued male lineage and authority.
