Childhood, Class and Kin in the Roman World
Author: Suzanne DixonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134563183
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 459
Book Description
It can be difficult to hear the voices of Roman children, women and slaves, given that most surviving texts of the period are by elite adult men. This volume redresses the balance. An international collection of expert contributors go beyond the usual canon of literary texts, and assess a vast range of evidence - inscriptions, burial data, domestic architecture, sculpture and the law, as well as Christian and dream-interpretation literature. Topics covered include: * child exposure and abandonment * children in imperial propaganda * reconstructing lower-class families * gender, burial and status * epitaphs and funerary monuments * adoption and late parenthood. The result is an up-to-date survey of some of the most exciting avenues currently being explored in Roman social history.

Women's Socioeconomic Status and Religious Leadership in Asia Minor in the First Two Centuries C.E.
Author: Katherine BainPublisher: Augsburg Fortress Publishers
ISBN: 1451469926
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Rethinking the socioeconomic status of women in the Roman world. 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 women's leadership in social associations - and by implication in Jewish and Christian congregations as well - was even more frequent than has been imagined. -- Book Cover.
