The age of Augustus has long been recognized as a time when the
Roman state put a new emphasis on "traditional" feminine domestic
ideals, yet at the same time gave real public prominence to certain
women in their roles as wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters.
Kristina Milnor takes up a series of texts and their contexts in
order to explore this paradox. Through an examination of authors
such as Vitruvius, Livy, Valerius Maximus, Seneca the Elder, and
Columella, she argues that female domesticity was both a principle
and a problem for early imperial writers, as they sought to
construct a new definition of who and what constituted Roman public
life.
