WIVES, CONCUBINES AND DAUGHTERS OF ROMAN OFFICIALS WITH FINANCIAL FISCAL DUTIES IN EPIGRAPHIC SOURCES FROM ROMAN DACIA

Summary/Abstract: We will be analyzing, in the first part, the legal condition of women in Roman Dacia, starting from the analysis of the legal skills of Roman women in the province of Roman Dacia, taking into account both the Roman legal norms and the social realities of the time. In the next section we will focus on the presentation of the wives, concubines and daughters of Roman officials who appear in the epigraphic sources discovered on the territory of Roman Dacia. Thus we can list, as an example, the epigraphic inscription in which the slave Villicus appears who had duties to collect taxes and received a wife Villica. In the last part, we will conclude that, from a legal point of view, in Roman Dacia, women were recognized with a fairly large capacity for civil law, the only marriage cum manus, which could still impose legal authority on women, was in decline, divorce was relatively easy to obtain, almost a formality, and guardianship was an institution with less and less authority.
