BAUMAN, R.A., Women and Politics in Ancient Rome. Routledge, London / New York, 1994. 1st paperback ed. XVI,294p. Paperback. Spine with light reading trace. Else fine. ‘B.’s declared subject is to trace the expansion of women’s role in Roman public life from the fourth century B.C. to the early Empire, under two main headings, the politics of protest and later the emergence of the great political matrons. Unfortunately earlier stages almost defy comment. B.’s attempt to erect an imposing edifice from a handful of scraps of inadequate and oracular information is foredoomed to failure (….). In short then an enterprise gravely flawed in conception and execution, but with a number of interesting features, particularly in its later stages.’ (ROBIN SEAGER in The classical Review (New Series), 1994, pp.358-359). € 40.00 (Antiquarian) ISBN: 9780415115223
