Yes, but it's not something big like a purse nowadays. They were most often a small single pocket bag with a clasp or drawstring called a "reticule". You could wear it on your wrist, or on a length of ribbon tied about your waist and hidden in the folds of your skirt. Reticules were sometimes beaded and trimmed, but many were simple, for everyday use (just like you would have a fancy clutch for formal wear but a more simple and durable purse for day to day use).
If you reenact like I do and need a bigger storage space to hide your modern conveniences, you can get a sewing basket or sewing caddy (which often times looks more like a larger decorative box with a handle and top on it to give a neat appearance). The only problem I have with these when I reenact is that they are bulky and tend to get in the way. Generally speaking a good 10cm X 15cm reticule can hold all your modern necessities (cellphone, money, license, gum, lip balm, pen and notepad are what I carry in a bag that size) for a day of reenactment

The Romans are believed to have developed early forms of purses around the 1st century AD. These small bags, often made of leather or cloth, were used to carry coins and personal items, reflecting the growing complexity of Roman commerce and daily life. While not identical to modern purses, they were an important accessory for both men and women in Roman society. The design and functionality of these early purses laid the groundwork for later developments in personal carry items.
