( ) "The Women of the Caesars" is comprised of six chapters, opening with a general account of women & marriage in Ancient Rome, followed by a history of the times from 38 BC to AD 59. The text doesn't strictly follow the lives of Roman women. There is as much detail on the emperors of this period, including Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero's early years. Prominent women of the time include Livia, Julia (1 & 2), Antonia, Messalina, and Agrippina (1 & 2). In general this account portrays how certain women influenced their men and how they fit into society. An empress wielded a lot of power. Women on the whole had much more liberty than the Greeks of this time. The writing itself is easy to digest. On the whole I found this an interesting read. Worth checking out if you want to know what Roman times were like during this period. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
During the period between the death of Caesar and the death of Nero there appeared in Roman politics a certain number of feminine figures, differing greatly among themselves but all interesting; and all of them, like Cleopatra, became the centers of legends that were always bizarre and sometimes dramatic.Contents:Woman and Marriage in Ancient RomeLivia and JuliaThe Daughters of AgrippaTiberius and AgrippinaThe Sisters of Caligula and the Marriage of MessalinaAgrippina, The Mother of Nero Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
