Stay at home
While this isn’t a huge surprise, it’s worth mentioning that women of Ancient Rome were expected to stay home and work on raising a family. Some wealthy women were able to attempt to get an education, and others were even able to work for a business. Sadly, the majority of business work that women had to do was manage slaves.
Many were also not toned with a six pack like in some movies for precisely that reason. A nice bit of fat gives your opponent something to cut without a kill.
Die in the games*
And obviously in the the centuries of gladiatorial games there have been some exceptions and circumstances. But overall, I know what I'm talking about.
