Unearth the compelling and controversial life of Fulvia, a formidable Roman woman who navigated the tumultuous final decades of the Roman Republic. Beyond the often hostile accounts left by her contemporaries like Cicero, historian Jane Draycott delves into the fragmented evidence to reconstruct a nuanced portrait of a woman who loved her husbands, raised her children, and became a significant player in the political upheavals of her time. Explore Fulvia's world, from her influential family and marriages to powerful figures like Clodius Pulcher and Mark Antony, to her involvement in pivotal events like the Perusine War. Discover the challenges of piecing together the life of a woman largely viewed through the lens of her male detractors..., and the author's insightful journey to uncover a more plausible understanding of her motivations and actions.... This is a must-read for anyone interested in Roman history, the lives of extraordinary women in antiquity, and the power of re-examining historical narratives.
