Abstract

These pages give an overview of how the public and private space influenced the forms of religiosity of Roman women. Although the differences are not as clear as we would like, we must not forget that a devotee should be able to do everything necessary to achieve official and domestic religious stability. The literary, epigraphic and especially archaeological sources of Pompeii bring us closer to the ritual practices where the feminine presence appears symbolized iconographically. Also, their religious activities in the public sphere were reserved to matronal organizations that played a decisive role in certain festivities of the Roman calendar.
