This tradition was based on the Roman ideal of “pietas” which underlined duty, loyalty, and devotion to family, the gods, and the state, as per the Roman Empire Times. The outlet further said that the sculpture represented the woman's embodiment of these virtues, as she publicly showed her “moral integrity, fertility, and loyalty to her husband and family.”
