Description
Roman frontiers for the longest time have been seen as a place full of military men defending Rome from all comers. The archaeology has long since shown that these men were not on their own, but had families and that women of all walks of life were present throughout the frontiers. People like Regina from South Shields and Lepidina and Claudia Severa from Hadrian’s Wall are well known, but are far from unique. So who were these women? Where did they live? How did they make a living?
This course will look at the evidence, both from the inscriptions and the archaeology.
Please note all lectures will be recorded and distributed to the participants at the beginning of the next week. This should allow participants from different time zones, or those working to catch up with the lectures.
