Un-Roman Sex explores how gender and sex were perceived and
represented outside the Mediterranean core of the Roman Empire. The
volume critically explores the gender constructs and sexual
behaviours in the provinces and frontiers in light of recent
studies of Roman erotic experience and flux gender identities. At
its core, it challenges the unproblematised extension of the
traditional Romano-Hellenistic model to the provinces and
frontiers. Did sexual relations and gender identities undergo
processes of "provincialisation" or "barbarisation" similar to
other well-known aspects of cultural negotiation and syncretism in
provincial and border regions, for example in art and religion? The
11 chapters that make up the volume explore these issues from a
variety of angles, providing a balanced and rounded view through
use of literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence.
Accordingly, the contributions represent new and emerging ideas on
the subject of sex, gender, and sexuality in the Roman provinces.
As such, Un-Roman Sex will be of interest to higher-level
undergraduates and graduates/academics studying the Roman empire,
gender, and sexuality in the ancient world and at the Roman
frontiers.
