Keywords:
Women in the courts, Women´s prohibition to make applications on behalf of others, Valerius Maximus.Abstract
The present article examines the texts of the historian Valerius Maximus (Val. Max.8.3.1-3) concerning women in the roman courts during the Roman Republic period and makes a confrontation between these texts and other juridical and literary sources mencioning women´s roles in official court functions. It also examines Ulpian´s report of the edict that prohibited women from representing others in court. In conclusion, we made some considerations about women’s involvement as a lawyer in the Roman Republic period.
