Description

Experience the intense reality of the Roman Republic's collapse through the eyes of a survivor. Turia: A Roman Woman's Civil War offers a unique look at history beyond the traditional battlefield. While soldiers fought overseas, the Italian countryside and the streets of Rome faced different threats from armed gangs and bounty hunters. This account follows a young woman who lost her parents to violence on the eve of her wedding. As her future husband fought abroad, she navigated extreme challenges to protect her family estate. Despite a severe shortage of currency, she managed to raise funds to support her fiance in exile. This book provides a rare perspective on how individuals navigated the chaos, economic shifts, and social instability of the Roman civil wars. It is an essential read for those interested in the lives of women in antiquity and the personal impact of historical political upheaval.
