    Can you think of any other women in ancient Roman society who rose above their limitations to do extraordinary things?

    They didn’t even have their own first names. If a girl’s father was named Livius she would be Livia. And so would her sisters. They would then have a number after their names

    Great video. Curious if the legal-rights changes circa 17 BCE were during the Augustan marriage reforms (to increase the birth rate)?

      I think so! I suppose they are talking about the Lex Julia and the Lex Papia Poppaea by Augustus, which introduced the ius liberorum (freeing women who birthed 3 children from tutela mulierum)

    Very useful when writing roman women.
    I think a powerful woman was Domitia Longina, survived to see nine emperors, married one, loved another and might have killed Domitian. Kept on going even in her life full of pain.

    As bad as women had it in Rome, they we fairly free compared to Ancient Greece.
    There, the Greeks considered women as “deformed men”.
    Good presentation! Keep them coming!

    I would live to know about the festival of Bonna Dea but saddly there is nothing that discribed what happend on the fest or what the woman did there.

      Hi! Unfortunately we don't have much on the Festival of Bona Dea, but if you do a Google search, you should be able to find out more information.

    I think we could make an "opening" to talk about a "trans woman", Emperor Elagabalus, who according to the Praetorian documents, he wanted to have a vagina and even married a man, and was dressed as a woman at the wedding.

    • @viperstriker4728
      @viperstriker4728 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah that ain't exactly true of Elagabalus. Here is a video that goes over those sources to say he is trans in detail. (If a trans person knew who Elagabalus was they would be very offended to be lumped in with him. So it might be a good idea for you to learn more about it before pushing historical revisionism.)

      Worthy of note is the fact that, for many thousands of years, literally everybody thought it was completely insane to "install or remove ones own sexual hardware".

    You mention Julia Domna... The Severan Family had many powerful women behind the scenes; however the power was still given and derived through men, like Septimius Severus and others. Julia Domna did not exercise her power to save the life of her son Geta... murdered by Caracalla, her other son. He died in her arms. She also failed to stop the "Damnation Memoriae" that followed or the slaughter of thousands of innocents who served Geta as co-emporer. You show a Severan Tondo from the period; but don't explain his erasure. I enjoyed the video, but more details will better inform the curious. Thanks.

    Regulated by men? Not if you were a Vestal virgin or the priestesses of some temples. Like in any other period of history your quality of life was dependent upon certain circumstances. This is all presentism- judging history by contemporary mores. Roman society was only one of many cultures of the ancient period. Roles of women varied from culture to culture but most societies were male-centric.

    Just looked up the naming convention and it is extremely bias the way it is presented here. Just a few google searches and it appears that the praenomen (first of the 3 names) was given to both boys and girls in some periods but there was a time period which it was not used for women. Since the praenomen wasn't used they they used the order of birth with terms like Prima, Secunda, Tertia, Quarta and so on. This was called a cognomen. Male names were also very weird and formulaic like this and should be included for context.
    To say women didn't get a name is absurd. None of them got a name as we understand names and simplifying it to this degree only serves to misinform and anger people. And please don't take my word for this. I still have to learn how how the naming works. But just a few google searches was enough for me to disregard the info in this video entirely.

    Very biased video. We cannot judge ancient times by modern standards - people didn't think the same way we do now back then. No society is perfect.
