    by Terence ...
    Series series Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics
    Terence's Hecyra raises social, literary and theatrical issues of great interest to modern students of Roman comedy and, indeed, of Roman culture more broadly.

  • The Cambridge Companion to the Roman Historians

    Edited by Andrew Feldherr ...

  • Roman Girlhood and the Fashioning of Femininity

    by Lauren Caldwell ...
    Elite women in the Roman world were often educated, socially prominent, and even relatively independent. Yet the social regime that ushered these same women into marriage and childbearing at an early age was remarkably restrictive. In the first book-length study of girlhood in the early Roman Empire, Lauren Caldwell investigates the reasons for this paradox. Through an examination of literary, ... Read more
