This work investigates the political agency and influence of Fulvia, a prominent Roman noblewoman, during the final, volatile decades of the Roman Republic. Celia E. Schultz, a scholar of Roman history, utilizes surviving literary sources and archaeological context to reconstruct the life of a figure often marginalized or maligned by ancient male historians. The book argues that Fulvia was not merely a passive participant in the lives of her powerful husbands, but a strategic political actor who navigated the complex power dynamics of the late Republic.
