Summary/Abstract: Women in the Roman world have usually been portrayed from a flat, uncontoured perspective. The generalisation of women in classical literary sources is observed when these, in general, only deal with a certain type of woman, the matrons, and, moreover, present a homogeneous form of behaviour. This paper analyses the perception of the behaviour of matrons in a specific historical moment, the Second Punic War, both from the perspective of social morality and from the perspective of law.
