Book Synopsis Roman Women by : Alfred Brittain

Book excerpt: A narrative about Alfred Brittain's views regarding ladies in 1907. Whereas another land has different customs; another time has different habits, but the man behind it is essentially the same. As she was dressed in several outfits, the lady was not regarded to be fundamentally different. Women in ancient Rome embodied the same qualities and were motivated by the same flaws as women today. And the fact that environmental variations, the vanished circumstances of Roman life, do not cause fundamental disparities in character piques scientists' curiosity. But, below it all, the same humanity, femininity, and mental habits are shown.

Book Synopsis Vestal Virgins, Sibyls, and Matrons by : Sarolta A. Takács
Download or read book Vestal Virgins, Sibyls, and Matrons written by Sarolta A. Takács. This book was released on 2010-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of women’s role in Roman religion that facilitates a better understanding of their importance in Rome’s cultural formation. Roman women were the procreators and nurturers of life, both in the domestic world of the family and in the larger sphere of the state. Although deterred from participating in most aspects of public life, women played an essential role in public religious ceremonies, taking part in rituals designed to ensure the fecundity and success of the agricultural cycle on which Roman society depended. Thus religion is a key area for understanding the contributions of women to Roman society and their importance beyond their homes and families. In this book, Sarolta A. Takács offers a sweeping overview of Roman women’s roles and functions in religion and, by extension, in Rome’s history and culture from the republic through the empire. She begins with the religious calendar and the various festivals in which women played a significant role. She then examines major female deities and cults, including the Sibyl, Mater Magna, Isis, and the Vestal Virgins, to show how conservative Roman society adopted and integrated Greek culture into its mythic history, artistic expressions, and religion. Takács’s discussion of the Bona Dea Festival of 62 BCE and of the Bacchantes, female worshippers of the god Bacchus or Dionysus, reveals how women could also jeopardize Rome’s existence by stepping out of their assigned roles. Takács’s examination of the provincial female flaminate and the Matres/Matronae demonstrates how women served to bind imperial Rome and its provinces into a cohesive society.

Book Synopsis Women and Politics in Ancient Rome by : Richard A. Bauman
Download or read book Women and Politics in Ancient Rome written by Richard A. Bauman. This book was released on 2002-11-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1994. The study of women in the societies of antiquity has assumed a fresh significance in recent years. This book delineates not only the influential and manipulative role of Roman women in the business of government, law and public affairs in general, but also the emergence of women's political and liberationist movements. Professor Bauman's investigation covers the period from C350 BC to AD 68, and thus embraces the Middle and Late Republic and the Early Principate. It is demonstrated that the story of Roman women over that period is one of cohesion and continuity, of the steady expansion of women's roles in public affairs. That paced expansion, and the means by which it was achieved, such as the acquisition and use of legal knowledge and the influence of women's movements, is the central theme of this book. Bauman's treatment is principally chronological, stressing sequential development, concluding with the great ladies of the Emperor's House.
