Exploring the period from 1566 to 1656, this study delves into the lives of ordinary prostitutes and their clients in post-Counter-Reformation Rome. Utilizing diverse archival sources, it uncovers the reasons behind women's entry into prostitution, their relationships with clients, and the economic aspects of their lives. Notarial documents reveal insights into their earnings and lifestyles, challenging the notion that Counter-Reformation reforms successfully curtailed prostitution, which persisted as a profitable venture for many women despite efforts at social control.
