Document Details : Title: Women and Public Life in Imperial Asia Minor Subtitle: Hellenistic Tradition and Augustan Ideology Author(s): KEARSLEY, R.A. Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 4 Issue: 1 Date: 2005 Pages: 98-121 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.4.1.3291784 Abstract : Women frequently appear with titles of public office in inscriptions of Roman Asia Minor. These titles are a meaningful sign of the role of women as office-bearers and not necessarily the result of sharing a position with a male relative. The late 1st century BC-early 1st century AD was particularly important as a formative period. The article discusses the social context of women office-bearers in Asia Minor under the headings: Queens in Bosporus and Asia Minor; Livia, femina princeps; Livia imitatio in the East; Wealthy Women in Public Life during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. |
