Summary
"Women are not a marginal phenomenon in Roman literature of the early imperial period. As protagonists, they are of central importance for Roman crisis narratives. Titus Livius credits women with the necessary knowledge of Roman values ​​to resolve crises. They override gender hierarchies and renegotiate them. Female knowledge is indispensable in order to initiate men's knowledge of values ​​and successful crisis response. Women mark a crisis of masculinity in the narratives of the Roman Republic. The discourse changed under Emperor Tiberius. A changed image of men can be seen: in narratives from the republic and the imperial era, Valerius Maximus presents men - also from the imperial ruling family - as guarantors of Roman morality. Only at the end of the republic do men depend on female actions and female knowledge. However, here too femininity is put in the service of an idealized imperial masculinity"--
