2/2 new stickers for the summer! This time it’s Fulvia, wife of Mark Antony and political mastermind in her own right. While her most iconic thing is of course stabbing Cicero’s decapitated head with a hairpin, I was impressed by all that she had achieved in honor of her first husband Clodius and the fact that both she and Antony continued to push for his policies which made them popular among the plebs. Gotta love a woman of the people!
