This book investigates how varying practices of gender shaped
people's lives and experiences across the societies of ancient
Greece and Rome. Exploring how gender was linked with other
socio-political characteristics such as wealth, status, age and
life-stage as well as with individual choices, in the very
different world of classical antiquity, is fascinating in its own
right. But later perceptions of ancient literature and art have
profoundly influenced the development of gendered ideologies and
hierarchies in the West, and influenced the study of gender itself.
Questioning how best to untangle and interpret difficult sources is
a key aim. This book exploits a wide range of archaeological,
material cultural, visual, spatial, demographic, epigraphical and
literary evidence to consider households, families, life-cycles and
the engendering of time, legal and political institutions, beliefs
about bodies, sex and sexuality, gender and space, the economic
implications of engendered practices, and gender in religion and
magic.
