In Rome, sumptuary laws seemed the only weapon to defeat 'hydra-like luxury', the terrible monster that was weakening even the strongest citizens. Here Emanuela Zanda explores the reasons and purposes behind the enactment of such legislation in Rome during the Republic, placing it in a wider political and social framework.
