Fulvia
Archival Summary & Scope
The first full-length English biography devoted solely to Fulvia, wife of Mark Antony. Born into an aristocratic Roman family during the Republic, she first gained prominence as the wife of the powerful and scandalous politician, P. Clodius Pulcher. Following his murder, she boldly pursued his killer. As Mark Antony's wife, Fulvia became the most powerful woman in Rome, even engaging directly in military conflicts against Octavian. Often vilified by her husbands' enemies as domineering and vicious, this book reclaims Fulvia's true story, revealing a strong-willed, independent, and immensely successful Roman matron.Archival Categorization Notes
