The papers in this volume were among the contributions presented at
an international symposium, Ancient Marriage in Myth and Reality,
which was held at the Swedish Institute in Rome in October 2006.
The symposium was held under the aegis of ARACHNE-the Nordic
network for women's history and gender studies in Antiquity. The
study of ancient marriage has been largely the province of
historians working with texts, and the result of this was an
emphasis on elite marriages discussed by the male writers of the
upper classes and on laws pertaining to marriage. Neither area has
been exhausted, as several essays in this new international
collection indicate, but the balance among the papers reveals the
shift in focus. Along with innovative readings of authors from Livy
to Porphyry, we find examinations of demographic and contractual
evidence as well as inscriptions and visual imagery. Among the
contributors to the volume are: Pauline Schmitt Pantel, Judith
Evans Grubbs, Ray Laurence, Marjatta Nielsen and Mary Harlow.
