Women in Ancient Rome is an invaluable introduction to the lives of
women in the late Roman Republic and first three centuries of the
Roman Empire. Arranged chronologically and thematically, it
examines how Roman women were born, educated, married, and active
in economic, social, public, and religious life, as well as how
they were commemorated and honored after death. Though they were
excluded from formal public and military offices, wealthy Roman
women participated in public life as benefactors and in religious
life as priestesses. The book also acknowledges the status and
occupations of women taking part in public life as textile
producers, retail workers, and agricultural laborers, as well as
enslaved women. The book provides a thorough introduction to the
social history of women in the Roman world and gives students and
aspiring scholars references to current scholarship and to primary
literary and documentary sources, including collected sources in
translation. Provides students of classical or women's history with

roles, occupations, and leisure activities of women in Roman
society Emphasizes primary literary and documentary sources and
