Violence against women is a social scourge of such magnitude that for decades numerous social movements, legislative advances and public policies have been developed to eradicate it. Although the abuse is committed in the home, it is necessary to visualise the role of women in history, to reflect the leading role they played in antiquity, “and to fill in the blank of the paper of the books that have always told the other side”. The history of Roman women has always been told by men, who labelled women’s behaviour in accordance with patriarchal customs as fury.

Abstract: Violence against women is a social scourge of such magnitude that for decades numerous social movements, legislative advances and public policies have been developed to eradicate it. Although the abuse is committed in the home, it is necessary to visualise the role of women in history, to reflect the leading role they played in antiquity, "and to fill in the blank of the paper of the books that have always told the other side". The history of Roman women has always been told by men, who labelled women's behaviour in accordance with patriarchal customs as fury.
