The chastity of a slave or a freedwoman or even a foreigner, was of no value.
Thou art no more a slave, but the freedwoman of the Empress Valeria.
As my freedwoman, you will, of course, bear my name with your own.
Horace is the only one who celebrated a freedwoman in some of his odes.
M. Abudius Luminaris, who raises this monument, had married his own freedwoman; “Patronus idemque conjux.”
A freedwoman had roused superstitious fear in the heart of a daughter of the Cæsars!
But with a gesture of savage pride the freedwoman tore herself away from Nola.
Many questions were needed to draw this much from the freedwoman, for she spoke but little.
