A Rome Of One's Own by Emma Southon
Exploring the lives and stories of women in the Roman world
A witty, irreverent history that recenters the women of ancient Rome—from enslaved laborers and sex workers to merchants, priestesses, and empresses—revealing the breadth of their experiences across class and time. Drawing on inscriptions, legal texts, and literature, it reconstructs everyday lives and extraordinary careers to challenge male‑centric narratives, showing how women worked, loved, worshiped, schemed, and wielded influence throughout the empire.
