An Anthology on the Roman World: Republic to Empire provides
students with a collection of carefully selected, multidisciplinary
readings that illuminate the unique history of the Romans. The
anthology is organized into four chapters. Chapter 1 focuses on
society and government. The readings encourage students to consider
how the shape of a city influences its society, the significance of
Roman baths, features of Roman government that have permeated the
West, and more. Chapter 2 focuses on Roman women, with articles
about Livia, the wife of Augustus; graffiti from Pompeii created by
women; and the place of the woman in the Roman family structure. In
Chapter 3, students examine the structure and roles within Roman
families. The readings cover symbols of gender and status in the
Roman household, marriage and sexuality, and the role of healthcare
providers in the Roman household, including woman doctors and
midwives. The final section discusses early Roman religion and the
introduction and growth of Christianity in the first couple of
centuries after its founding. An Anthology on the Roman World is an
ideal supplementary resource for courses in world history,
especially those with concentration on Roman history.
