This poster presents current findings from my PhD research on female agency in the late Roman republican. My PhD uses female centred networks to connect women, and men, during this period as visualisation enables an easier identification of different patterns of connectedness, whether they be social, familial and\/or political. My research primarily uses the newly conceptualised Digital Prosopography of the Roman Republic from King\u2019s College London, as well as various ancient sources, to create familial data sets so as to identify connections within four generations (one above and two below) of the various central female nodes. Through trial and error, focussing on four generations not only enables the identification of possible repeated familial connections, but also pinpoints new connections forged with powerful new men or families in subsequent generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numerous female centred networks created, ranging from c.250 BC to c.10 BC and of elite and equestrian women, are used to answer the four main questions that form the driving force of my PhD: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
