Description: During the broad sweep of the history of Ancient Rome, comprising the Regal period (ca. 753 to 509 BC), the Republic (ca. 509 to 31 BC), and the Principate or Empire (which ended in the west ca. AD 476), women were generally excluded from public and political activity (Dixon 2001, 82; D’Ambra 2007, 142; Milnor 2012, 458–59, 473). While some women did exercise political influence, they did so only because they were wives or close relatives of powerful men, and their examples were viewed as anomalous.
Subject: Ancient Rome; wives in literature; single women in literature; single women in motion pictures; women in popular cultures
