Did you know that the most powerful woman in Byzantine history was Theodora who was the wife Justinian 1, the most significant emperor of the Easter Roman Empire? She wasn’t perfect but what a legacy. The daughter of a bear keeper, she became an actress and possibly a courtesan, and for a time earned her keep as a wool spinner. Having impressed Justinian with her beauty and intelligence, they married. When he became emperor, she became “augusta” – an empress. She sponsored laws affecting women’s rights in divorce, inheritance and tried to end traffic and prostitution demands of young girls.

Roman Empresses were more than just a pretty face. Enjoy portraying one of these powerful women at your next Halloween party or the local community Roman costume ball.
