From the publisher:

Paolo Cesaretti's Theodora is not the femme fatale of the nineteenth century.
Her portrait given here is based on unparalleled research and depicts not only the scandalous side, but also Theodora's strenghtof character, her good work, and her support for the persecuted. Sprung as she was from the lower class, was she also a champion of the downtrodden and scourge of the privileged?

The 'real' Theodora will always elude us, but one thing is certain: Cesaratti will not be her last biographer.

Professor Cyril A Mango
