About This Book

A three-act toga comedy set in ancient Rome alternates between the domestic life of a consul's household and public political scenes, as women, servants and magistrates contend with a contentious sumptuary law that regulates feminine display. Witty domestic exchanges, jealousies and misunderstandings meet civic debates led by tribunes and officials, producing comic confrontations that probe social rank, gender expectations and the friction between private desires and public regulation.
