5/8: A Rome of One's Own: The Forgotten Women of the Roman Empire  by  Emma Southon  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Rome-Ones-Own-Forgotten-Empire/dp/1419760181/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= The history of Rome has long been narrow and one-sided, essentially a history of “the Doing of Important Things.” And as far as Roman historians have been concerned, women don't make that history. From Romulus through the political stab-fest of the late Republic, and then on to all the emperors, Roman historians may deign to give you a wife or a mother to show how bad things become when women get out of control, but history is more than that.

This is a retelling of the history of Rome with all the things Roman history writers relegate to the background, or designate as domestic, feminine, or worthless.

Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über den Untergang der antiken Stadt Pompeji, aber auch über die Ausgrabungen, die die Stadt nach hunderten von Jahren wieder zutage förderten. Im Zuge dieser wurden nicht nur die diversen Tempel, das Forum oder öffentliche Bäder, sondern auch ein ganz bestimmter Gebäudekomplex ausgegraben. Es ist die Anlage der Julia Felix, über die wir zwar relativ wenig wissen, deren unternehmerische Tätigkeiten uns aber Aufschluss sowohl über die Möglichkeiten von Frauen in der antiken römischen Gesellschaft, als auch über einen ansonsten wenig beleuchteten Teil der römischen Gesellschaft geben. Zu hören ist auch Dr. Emma Southon, die in ihrem Buch "A History of Rome in 21 Women" über Julia Felix geschrieben hat. // Literatur - Emma Southon. A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women.

5/8: A Rome of One's Own: The Forgotten Women of the Roman Empire  by  Emma Southon  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Rome-Ones-Own-Forgotten-Empire/dp/1419760181/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= The history of Rome has long been narrow and one-sided, essentially a history of “the Doing of Important Things.” And as far as Roman historians have been concerned, women don't make that history. From Romulus through the political stab-fest of the late Republic, and then on to all the emperors, Roman historians may deign to give you a wife or a mother to show how bad things become when women get out of control, but history is more than that. Emma Southon's A Rome of One's Own is the best kind of correction. This is a retelling of the history of Rome with all the things Roman history writers relegate to the background, or designate as domestic, feminine, or worthless. This is a history of women who caused outrage, led armies in rebellion, wrote poetry; who lived independently or under the thumb of emperors. Told with humor and verve as well as a deep scholarly background, A Rome of One's Own highlights women overlooked and misunderstood, and through them offers a fascinating and groundbreaking chronicle of the ancient world. 1902 Pompeii
