Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Prostitutes and Matrons in the Roman World is the first substantial account of elite Roman concubines and courtesans. Exploring the blurred line between proper matron and wicked prostitute, it illuminates the lives of sexually promiscuous women like Messalina and Clodia, as well as prostitutes with hearts of gold who saved Rome and their lovers in times of crisis. It also offers insights into the multiple functions of erotic imagery and the circumstances in which prostitutes could play prominent roles in Roman public and religious life. Tracing the evolution of social stereotypes and concepts of virtue and vice in ancient Rome, this volume reveals the range of life choices and sexual activity, beyond the traditional binary depiction of wives or prostitutes, that were available to Roman women. Revealing a more complex range of life choices and sexual activity open to Roman women beyond the traditional binary depiction as either wives or prostitutes, this book will be of interest to Roman historians, gender and sexuality scholars, feminist theorists, and those interested in the evolution of social stereotypes.
