Imperatrici Matrone Liberte

The book edited by Novella Lapini illustrates the exhibition in the Sala Detti and Sala del Camino of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence (3 November 2020 - 14 February 2021).

The topic examined on this occasion is the fascinating female world in Roman times (in the period between the late republic and the high empire). The figure of the woman is seen in its most common characteristics both positive and negative, from the intimate world of the home to the places of power.
