Due to this upset, trials were instituted per <em>publica vox et fama</em>,&nbsp;i.e. on the grounds of the bad reputation one had in his/her community. As far as women and their history are concerned, the focus is centered on adultery, which is the slanderous crime-sin accusation considered by both laws and public opinion, by writers and other makers of male discourse on women’s good-bad reputation.</p> ER -
