In partnership with the Société d'Histoire et d'Archéologie de la Lorraine.
Virginie Girod holds a PhD in History, specializing in Roman Antiquity.
In popular culture, decadent Romans had an unbridled sexuality. In peplums, Roman women are sensual, poisonous creatures. These clichés are far from reality. Roman society was committed to order, and each member was expected to behave in a manner befitting his or her position.
Free women were destined to be wives and mothers. Their sexuality was controlled. Other women, including prostitutes, are at the service of men, objects of pleasure and seminal drains. An in-depth study of ancient medical, legal and literary texts, as well as archaeological remains, reveals women subjected to a rigorous social order. Transgressing the rules is never without danger, but it's always possible to play with them.
