Resumo
The anthology xii Panegyrici Latini gives imperial women a privileged textual visibility. References to them are concentrated on two speeches: the panegyric of Pliny to Trajan and the epithalamium for the marriage of Constantine to Fausta (Paneg. 7[6)]). Moreover, they allude to two categories of women: those related to princes previous to those praised in speeches, vague allusions, and those linked, real o metaphorically, to those praised on them. The representation of the women of the reigning princes –Plotina, Marciana, Fausta, Roma personified as mother– agrees with the feminine decorum standing at that moment, both in the way of presenting them and with the stereotypes used for their characterization. However, above the female decorum, the emperor becomes a hypertext that includes the traditional matrona patterns, applied to Plotina and Marciana, and pudica puella, applied to Fausta. Only in the metaphorical plane is the prince’s model and authority subverted, when Rome, with materna auctoritas, orders Emperor Maximianus to resume power after his abdication.
