Who were these women, beyond the myths, legends, and smear campaigns? What decisions did they have to make, and what did it cost them to make them? Grab a purple stola, a silver tongue, and a few vials of poison. WeвЂ™ll journey from the rough-and-tumble days of the late Roman Republic and see it through to its end, then into the first heady decades of the Roman Empire and the Julio-Claudian dynasty that ran the show for many decades. So letвЂ™s explore the lives of the women who lived during some of RomeвЂ™s most dramatic and game-changing periods. These women lived during tumultuous times: weвЂ™ll see them navigate unwanted marriages, political intrigue, exile to small islands, poisonous plots, poorly executed coups, bloodthirsty sons, cutthroat politics and MANY male haters, all while trying to stay alive and on top of the game in one of the worldвЂ™s most successful of empires.

The tales we get of their lives come from male writers with their own agendas and prejudices, who treat them as cautionary tales and side stories as they write about important men. Where thereвЂ™s a will, thereвЂ™s a way, and in a society that coveted public glory, ambitious women found their way into the history books too, even if just in scraps and unflattering snatches. Theirs was a distinctly patriarchal world, true fame and public achievement was supposed to be reserved for men. She wove such fine wool she kept such a fine house she was so very chaste and never made her father look bad! They werenвЂ™t welcome in the public sphere of governance. Any fame she won was supposed to be confined to the private, domestic sphere. In ancient Rome, a woman was defined in relation to her family.
