In a virile and violent world where men dominated, women with extraordinary personalities and close to power influenced the history of Rome during the twelve centuries during which this small city located in the heart of Italy gradually imposed itself on the entire Mediterranean basin. Can we, therefore, ignore the role played by a few exceptional women? Tanaquil, Lucrezia, Cleopatra, Fulvia, Livia, the two Agrippinas, Messalina, Poppaea, Julia Domna, Helena, Justina and Galla Placidia in particular. In this book, which traces a general panorama of the history of Rome from the beginning to the end of the Empire, we will see the important place that these exceptional women occupied. Perhaps it was desirable to recall their existence, which could serve as an example for the rest of time...
