About The Position

This course explores the representation of women in the ancient Greco-Roman world. Examining both mythical and historical figures, including goddesses, empresses, priestesses, prostitutes, and “ordinary” women, the course considers their powerful roles in family life, religion, politics, and public society. Through the study of architecture, coinage, funerary art, sculpture, vase painting, and ancient texts, students will investigate how women were celebrated, controlled, and commemorated in antiquity. Particular emphasis will be placed on the critical analysis of visual evidence and its relationship to social history. Students will examine how artistic representations shaped ideas about gender, identity, status, and sexuality while providing broader insight into women’s history and cultural memory in Greece and Rome.
