When analyzing ancient societies we often lack elements that constitute a methodological framework that can guide the researcher of classical studies, especially about the history of women in the ancient world. In this sense, this article proposes a dialog with the categories of gender and agency developed by sociological studies, intending to reflect on the political and socio-cultural relations in different historical moments. Based on this theoretical foundation, we will examine the possible economic reasons that led an elderly Roman matron, Ummidia Quadratilla, to sponsor pantomime groups.
