We explore the narratives adopted by sixteenth-century authors on women from the Ancient World in various Spanish military treatises. It is of particular interest to observe which female characters and/or stories are mentioned, in what context, and their function in the construction of the military-theoretical discourses of the Renaissance. Thus, it is of paramount importance to analyse how these women and their attributes (physical, moral) are described and how they relate to the authors' female contemporaries and the duties of members of the military, in order to connect with the ideal of the perfect Christian soldier of the sixteenth century. We consider that these narratives on ancient women, intimately connected to the impact of the Latin classics on 16th century military treatises, will have a great relevance in the perception and generation of discourses on fundamental theoretical and practical aspects of military life: from the soldier's chastity, to violence against women or their presence as companions of the troops. |

Examinamos los relatos que adoptan los tratadistas españoles del siglo XVI sobre las mujeres pertenecientes al Mundo Antiguo en los cuantiosos tratados militares de dicha centuria. De especial interés es observar cuáles son los personajes femeninos y/o historias que son mencionadas, en qué contexto, y qué función cumplen en la construcción de los discursos teórico-militares renacentistas. Así, es de primordial importancia analizar de qué manera se describen estas mujeres y sus características (físicas, morales) y cómo se ponen en relación a las mujeres coetáneas a los autores y los deberes de los militares, para enlazar con el ideal del perfecto soldado cristiano del siglo XVI. Consideramos que estos relatos sobre la feminidad antigua, íntimamente ligados al impacto de los clásicos latinos en la tratadística militar del XVI, tendrán una gran relevancia en la percepción y generación de discursos sobre aspectos fundamentales tanto de carácter teórico como práctico de la vida militar: desde la castidad del soldado, la violencia contra la mujer o su presencia como acompañante de las tropas.

Século XVI. Consideramos que estas histórias sobre a feminilidade antiga, intimamente ligadas ao impacto dos clássicos latinos nos tratados militares do século XVI, terão grande relevância na percepção e geração de discursos sobre aspectos fundamentais da natureza teórica e prática da vida militar. : desde a castidade do soldado, a violência contra a mulher ou a sua presença como companheiro de tropa.
