Roman Women uses numerous primary sources to explore the lives of
Rome's most influential women. It is not simply another lurid and
sensational catalogue of scandalous sexual outrages; these all
feature, but they are balanced by careful analysis of female role
models such as Lucretia, Verginia, and Cornelia. This volume
examines the effect these women had on contemporary politics and
society, and how far their actions reflected and affected other
women in the Roman world. The women here displayed a wide range of
characteristics: they could be devoted wives and mothers,
intelligent, charismatic, ambitious, obtrusive, powerful,
permissive, adulterous, manipulative, evil, cruel, dangerous, and
(often) dead before their time. Nevertheless, they had one thing in
common-they all made an indelible mark on one of the most powerful
civilisations the world has ever known.
