Abstract

We have a few informations about the rhetorical performance of female characters. This is not the case for Fulvia, Clodius’ and then Antonius’ wife: on several occasions she succeeded in conditioning the political life of ancient Rome through shrewd strategies of persuasion that involve props, clothes and gestures. The wise reuse of the actio allows her to overcome the silence to which the ethical code condemned her.
