The unicorn is a legendary chimaera that, for centuries, has been present in the mindset of Euro-Mediterranean cultures.

Drawing on the theory of “lived religion,” this study highlights how religion offered Roman women opportunity to interact with both domestic and public spheres in socially acceptable means. Religion allowed women to exercise influence, power, and autonomy otherwise denied to them in political or legal contexts.
