EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in Roman social history, as depicted in the 15th century print, 'Lex Oppia: Roman Women Protest Against the Lex Oppia.' The Lex Oppia, a law passed in ancient Rome around 215 BC, aimed to limit the extravagant displays of luxury and finery among Roman matrons, in an effort to conserve resources for the Roman military during times of war. The law restricted the amount of gold and other precious metals that could be worn, as well as the length of women's dresses and the use of certain fabrics. In this scene, Roman ladies, dressed in 15th century attire, are depicted protesting against the Lex Oppia. They are shown cutting down their luxurious garments in a public display of defiance, symbolizing their rejection of the law's restrictions. The women's determined expressions and the dramatic gestures of their actions convey a sense of resistance and solidarity. This print, created in 1475, is based on the account of the historical event as recorded by Valerius Maximus in his work 'Facta et dicta memorabilia.' The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and political climate of ancient Rome and the tenacity of the women who challenged the authority of the law. The print also highlights the enduring power of historical narratives and their ability to inspire and resonate across centuries.
