Fulvia

The Woman Who Broke All the Rules in Ancient Rome

Jane Draycott
Englisch | Taschenbuch

'A thoroughly rapacious woman...as cruel as she is greedy' Cicero<BR>'A woman who took no thought for spinning or housekeeping...meddlesome and headstrong' Plutarch<BR>'[She] caused the death of many, both to satisfy her enmity and to gain their wealth' Cassius Dio<BR>'She acted in a haughty manner towards those who were placing her in a position to be arrogant' Orosius<BR>'Nothing of the woman in her except her sex' Velleius Paterculus<BR><BR>The charismatic Fulvia amassed a degree of military and political power that was unprecedented for a woman in Ancient Rome. Married three times to men who moved in powerful circles, including Marc Antony, Fulvia was not content to play the usual background role that was expected of a wife - instead she challenged the Roman patriarchy and sought to increase her influence in the face of determined opposition. <BR><BR>It's rare to know so much about a particular Roman woman, but Fulvia was so despised by her male detractors that she was much written about. Acclaimed historian Jane Draycott has used original sources to piece together Fulvia's life and sort fact from fiction, while also exploring the role of women in Roman society.

Jane Draycott
Um 83 v. Chr. geboren, lebte Fulvia zur Zeit von Cäsar und Kleopatra - und gehörte zu den ganz wenigen Frauen des römischen Reiches, die enorm viel Macht und Einfluss hatten. Bekannt ist sie zwar aus antiken Quellen, doch fast immer als Zerrbild durch die Feder ihrer männlichen Feinde: habgierig, grausam, eigensinnig, unweiblich. Ein Ruf, der sich über Jahrhunderte festgesetzt hat, bis hin zu der Legende, sie habe nach Ciceros Tod seine Zunge mit Haarnadeln durchstochen.Die britische Historikerin Jane Draycott spürt der Fulvia hinter den Diffamierungen nach. Sie liest die Texte von Fulvias Gegnern kritisch, ordnet sie politisch ein und lässt dabei das alte Rom auferstehen. Sie erzählt von Fulvias Aufstieg an die Spitze der Macht, von ihren strategischen Bündnissen und ihrem außergewöhnlichen Charisma.So entsteht das faszinierende Porträt einer Frau, die nicht gefallen wollte, sondern ihr Leben und ihren Aufstieg selbst gestaltete: vielleicht hart, sicher klug - und politisch gefährlich genug, um bis heute missverstanden zu werden.

Acclaimed historian Jane Draycott has used original sources to piece together Fulvia's life and sort fact from fiction, while also exploring the role of women in Roman society. Set during the chaotic period when Rome was violently transitioning from a republic to the dictatorship of the Roman Empire, this is an original and fascinating take on an endlessly popular period of history.
