Abstract
In the tenth century camo "the rule of the prostitutes"-Theodora and her daughters, Theodora and Marozia. As ambitious as they were beautiful, they obtained the greatest influence in Rome by a prodigal prostitution of their charms. The supreme power in Rome was for a while practically in the hands of these licentious women. "Rome," says a contemporary chronicler, "fell under the yoke of women. As we read in the prophet: 'The effeminate shall rule over them,' " Is. 3, 4.
