'A thoroughly rapacious woman...as cruel as she is greedy' Cicero 'A woman who took no thought for spinning or housekeeping...meddlesome and headstrong' Plutarch '[She] caused the death of many, both to satisfy her enmity and to gain their wealth' Cassius Dio 'She acted in a haughty manner towards those who were placing her in a position to be arrogant' Orosius 'Nothing of the woman in her except her sex' Velleius Paterculus The charismatic Fulvia amassed a degree of military and political power that was unprecedented for a woman in Ancient Rome.
