      This paper aims to discuss the representation of two Roman women, Fulvia and Octavia, who were very different characters: the former was a model not to be followed; and the latter, a real matron. To work with this theme, written and material sources such as coins were used. It is known that Roman written sources were used to build hierarchies linked to an idealized discourse related to male domination. However, coins of these women were analysed in terms of what they wanted to communicate, especially the gender strategies built in their coinage, which suggested questioning how Fulvia and Octavia were presented to the public. To introduce the context in which these women lived, it should be borne in mind that, theoretically, the family remained under the power of the paterfamilias (patria potestas) at the period of the Republic and beginning of Empire.

Para desarrollar el tema se investigaron fuentes escritas y materiales, tales como monedas. Sabidamente se utilizaron algunas fuentes escritas de origen romano para construir las jerarquías de un discurso idealizado en perspectiva con el predominio del pensamiento masculino. Sin embargo, las monedas cuñadas con el busto de estas mujeres fueron analizadas bajo la luz de lo que se quería comunicar en aquella época, especialmente sobre las estrategias de género construidas por ocasión de su acuñación, lo que sugería cuestionar la manera cómo se presentaba al público Fulvia y Octavia. Para comprender el contexto en el que vivían estas mujeres, hay que tener en cuenta que, teóricamente, en el período de la República Romana y comienzo del imperio, la familia permanecía bajo el poder del paterfamilias ...
