Statue Matron of a married woman, Roman sculpture replica

Matrona Roman Statue

The Staple Of Roman Homeliness The Latin term Matrona does not mean much more than Wife or Married Woman. At least that is what the dictionary tells you. In reality the ancient Romans used the word Matrona a bit differently. Sure, it could mean wife but it could also serve as a more or less pejorative term for elderly, bloated women that spend most of their time inside the house or gossiping.
Furthermore, a Matrona could be a female mother goddess protecting the home of the believers and worshippers. Thus, serving many purposes.
