English summary: “We command all men, and the women command us,” affirmed Cato. Roman history according to what we have been told, however, remains that of Roman men, and women are often overlooked. However, as of the end of the Republic, as shown by the example of Clodia who was so defamed by Cicero, and during the first two centuries of our era, Roman women acquired a great deal of independence, apart from political rights. The Roman Empire’s “Golden Century” is also the one in which women enjoyed the greatest freedom and the broadest rights, and even played a key role in public affairs due to their undeniable influence. Guy Fau relates the history of Rome by reversing the roles and discussing Livia and Julia rather than Augustus, Poppaea rather than Neron, and Lesbia rather than Catullus. French description: Nous commandons a tous les hommes mais nous obeissons aux femmes , affirmait Caton. L’histoire romaine telle qu’on nous la conte reste pourtant celle des romains, et les femmes y sont souvent oubliees. Cependant, des la fin de la Republique, comme en temoigne l’exemple de Clodia, si diffamee par Ciceron, et pendant les deux premiers siecles de notre ere, la femme romaine a conquis, le droit politique mis a part, une grande independance. Et le siecle d’or de l’empire romain est en meme temps celui ou la femme a joui de la plus grande liberte et des droits les plus larges, jouant meme un role important dans les affaires publiques par son influence incontestable. Guy Fau raconte l’histoire de Rome en inversant les roles et parle de Livie et de Julie plutot que d’Auguste, de Poppee plutot que de Neron ou de Lesbie plutot que de Catulle.
