Abstract

Women played a significant part in tenth-century Rome, and the documentation makes them visible in a way rarely seen in early medieval sources. First examining the political agency of the foremost among them, women like Marozia and the Theophylact family senatrices, this paper also highlights the socio-economic, legal and cultural role of many women of lower status. As donors, buyers and lessees, able to acquire property as well as to dispose of it within Roman law, their impact as part of a family group or in their own name becomes far more visible than either earlier or later.

十世纪罗马妇女的知名度

妇女在十世纪的罗马发挥了重要作用，这些文献以一种在中世纪早期文献中很少见到的方式将她们展现出来。本文首先考察了其中最重要的女性，如Marozia和Theophylact家族议员的政治代理，并强调了许多地位较低的女性的社会经济、法律和文化角色。作为捐赠者、买家和承租人，他们既可以在罗马法下获得财产，也可以在罗马法下处置财产，他们作为家族集团的一部分或以自己的名义产生的影响，比之前或之后都要明显得多。

期刊介绍： Early Medieval Europe provides an indispensable source of information and debate on the history of Europe from the later Roman Empire to the eleventh century. The journal is a thoroughly interdisciplinary forum, encouraging the discussion of archaeology, numismatics, palaeography, diplomatic, literature, onomastics, art history, linguistics and epigraphy, as well as more traditional historical approaches. It covers Europe in its entirety, including material on Iceland, Ireland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Continental Europe (both west and east).
