Moving beyond discussions of patriarchy and prescribed "women's
roles" in the Roman world - discussions that have relied too much
on elite literary sources, in her view - Katherine Bain explores
what inscriptional data from Asia Minor can tell us about the
actual socioeconomic status of women in the first and second
centuries C.E. Her findings suggest that outside of the
prescriptive lenses of the upper classes, women were described, in
honorary and funerary inscriptions, in terms that mirrored the
socioeconomic status of men, suggesting that women's leadership in
social associations-and by implication in Jewish and Christian
congregations as well-was even more frequent than has been
imagined.
