| book description |
In the Roman Republic, elite women were legally permitted to control substantial assets-and many demonstrably were in direct control of their wealth. They were also the mothers, wives, and daughters of the politicians who built the Roman empire and, in a time of high mortality, could find themselves running households which did not contain adult men. This volume explores the political and social consequences of elite female wealth. It combines case studies of individual women, such as Licinnia, wife of C. Gracchus, Mucia Tertia and Octavia Minor, with broader surveys of the institutional frameworks and social conventions which constrained and enabled women's wealth and its consequences. The book contributes to the recent upsurge of interest in reevaluating the role of women in Republican Rome and will be invaluable for scholars and students alike.
