A free‐born Roman woman who had contracted a iustum matrimonium was, according to Roman law, called a matrona . Under the Roman Republic, the term matrona was distinguished from materfamilias . According to Gellius (18.6.4), only a woman who had contracted a manus marriage was properly a materfamilias .
