Description

Explore the lives of women in the Roman era through the historical lens of Pliny's letters. This volume provides a significant source of information regarding the roles of women in Roman families, marriages, and households during the late first and early second centuries CE. While many references appear within letters concerning male acquaintances, they offer valuable insights into the social structures of the time. This collection includes 368 letters from Pliny's ten published books of epistles. Within these texts, Pliny mentions over 30 women by name, addresses letters to seven specific women, and refers to more than 40 anonymous women. This book is a valuable resource for students of Latin and those interested in the history of the ancient world, specifically focusing on the experiences of predominantly upper-class women.
