Female in roman army
#2
Actively in combat? Not as far as I know of.

Well, the ERE had once an empress, if that counts for you. Some other women of the royal family were pretty influential and active, too. But rather politically and not in the army.

The wife of a general of Germanicus prevented that the panicking romans destroyed the bridge over the Rhine, while her husband was on his way back chased by the germans. This is the most militarian affair a woman was involved in, I remember.
