A Semiotic Reading

• Format: ePub

This book systematically examines the portrayals of women in Martial's Epigrams, proposing a new method of exploring the cultural construction of femininity in the Flavian age and demonstrating the extent to which the social roles and identities of women in ancient Rome were constructed and policed through semiotic categories.
