This book provides an invaluable introduction to the social, economic, and legal status of women in ancient Rome.

Daily Life of Women in Ancient Rome is an invaluable introduction to the lives of women in the late Roman Republic and first three centuries of the Roman Empire. Arranged chronologically and thematically, it examines how Roman women were born, educated, married, and active in economic, social, public, and religious life, as well as how they were commemorated and honored after death. Though they were excluded from formal public and military offices, wealthy Roman women participated in public life as benefactors and in religious life as priestesses. The book also acknowledges the status and occupations of women taking part in public life as textile producers, retail workers, and agricultural laborers, as well as enslaved women.

The book provides a thorough introduction to the social history of women in the Roman world and gives students and aspiring scholars references to current scholarship and to primary literary and documentary sources, including collected sources in translation.

Arlt Award in the Humanities in Classical Studies. She is the author of Roman Military Service: Ideologies of Discipline in the Late Republic and Early Principate (Cambridge, 2008), an exploration of the ideals of discipline in the imperial army, including training, drill, pay, daily work, consumption, and leisure.

She is a coeditor of and contributor of many articles in Conflict in Ancient Greece and Rome: The Definitive Political, Social, and Military Encyclopedia (ABC-CLIO, 2016). She is a contributor to Lee L. Brice and Elizabeth Greene's forthcoming collection Present but Not Accounted For: Women and the Roman Army (Cambridge).

Elite Roman women played a significant role in the public and religious life of the smaller cities and towns of the empire. The book also explores what we can know about non-elite women, both free and enslaved. Daily Life of Women in Ancient Rome is a volume in ABC-CLIO's Daily Life through History series.
