Fulvia is the first full-length biography in English focused solely on Fulvia, daughter of Sempronia and Bambalio, who is best known as the wife of Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony). It peels away the heavily biased accounts of her to reveal a strong-willed, independent woman who was, by many traditional measures, a successful Roman matron.
Focusing on the religious roles of women in ancient Rome, the book reveals that their participation extended beyond marriage, fertility, and childbirth rituals. Celia E. Schultz uncovers a broader range of significant religious opportunities that Roman women engaged in, challenging the conventional understanding of their religious involvement and highlighting their importance in the spiritual landscape of the time.
