Recenzje

'There is a great deal of pleasure and a wealth of information to be derived from Women and Society in the Roman World … Hemelrijk's carefully curated and annotated collection of inscriptions fill a longstanding lacuna. Her sourcebook places front and centre the integral role of epigraphy as a rich reservoir of socio-historical and cultural detail about women extending beyond the strictly delimited stratum of elite and imperial households into all sectors of the ancient – and, in this case, Roman – world.' Peter Keegan, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
