"As might be expected from the caliber of the contributors, this is
a first-rate collection of essays.... Like I, Claudia, this book
will appeal to many others besides classicists. The two volumes
will be a must for anyone interested in social history or women's
history; the treatment, style, and illustrations make this volume
accessible to general readers." -- Karl Galinsky, Floyd A. Cailloux
Centennial Professor of Classics, University of Texas at Austin
I, Claudia: Women in Ancient Rome-- an exhibition and catalog
produced by the Yale University Art Gallery-- provided the first
comprehensive study of the lives of Roman women as revealed in
Roman art. Responding to the popular success of the exhibit and
catalog, Diana E. E. Kleiner and Susan B. Matheson here gather ten
additional essays by specialists in art history, history, and
papyrology to offer further reflections on women in Roman society
based on the material evidence provided by art, archaeology, and
ancient literary sources.
In addition to the editors, the contributors are Cornelius C.
Vermeule, Rolf Winkes, Mary T. Boatwright, Susan Wood, Eve D'Ambra,
Andrew Oliver, Diana Delia, and Ann Ellis Hanson. Their essays,
illustrated with black-and-white photos of the art under
discussion, treat such themes as mothers and sons, marriage and
widowhood, aging, adornment, imperial portraiture, and
patronage.
