Fulvia Enters the Scene
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Fulvia first appears in the sources after her marriage to P. Clodius Pulcher. Their union was arranged by her stepfather, Gaius Licinius Murena, to help Clodius recover from a career-damaging scandal: he had been caught, dressed in women’s clothing, at an exclusively female ritual in honor of the goddess Bona Dea; he had snuck in for a tryst with the hostess of the event, the wife of Caesar. Marriage to Fulvia offered Clodius a certain amount of respectability; marriage to Clodius gave Fulvia entrée into a more exclusive social circle than she could have otherwise aspired to. The union was a happy one that produced two children, a son and a daughter, and it lasted until Clodius was murdered by his political rival, Milo. Fulvia played a crucial role in whipping up popular sentiment against Milo, and her testimony helped secure his eventual conviction for the crime.
