Description

This volume offers the first comprehensive look at the role of women in the monarchies of the ancient Mediterranean.

It consistently addresses certain issues across all dynasties: title; role in succession; the situation of mothers, wives, and daughters of kings; regnant and co-regnant women; role in cult and in dynastic image; and examines a sampling of the careers of individual women while placing them within broader contexts.

Written by an international group of experts, this collection is based on the assumption that women played a fundamental role in ancient monarchy, that they were part of, not apart from it, and that it is necessary to understand their role to understand ancient monarchies.

This is a crucial resource for anyone interested in the role of women in antiquity.
