SOLVED.Time Travel novel read around 1995-2005 about a woman whose marriage is ending that makes a wish on a Roman artifact and then wakes up in Roman controlled Britain where she has to learn how to live and cope. [s]

Does this spark anyone’s memory? The item the woman wished on/prayed to was a symbol of marriage and fertility that she had found on her honeymoon.

Story is straight fiction - not YA.

Quite a few similarities here to Household Gods by Harry Turtledove and Judith Tarr.

I don’t think it was Roman Britain however, rather somewhere in Austria.

I agree that this sounds right. From BookList: "Nicole Gunther-Perrin is a doggedly progressive single mother and lawyer in Los Angeles. In a single day, she encounters traffic delays, sick kids, her child-care-giver going back to Mexico, loss of a promotion at work, and her uncooperative, cheapskate ex-husband. Praying desperately to a votive plaque of Liber and Libera, the Roman gods of freedom (or so she thinks), she awakens the next morning in the body of Umma, a widowed tavern keeper in Carnutum, a Roman frontier town in what is now Austria, in about 170 A.D. Her romantic fantasies of the past promptly unravel, as she discovers the lack of sanitation and medical knowledge, acquires a more practical approach to disciplining children and tolerating other people's sexual standards, and finds that decent men exist in every time and place...."
