Routledge Companion to Women and Monarchy in the Ancient Mediterranean World

Elizabeth CarneySabine MüllerElizabeth D. Carney6 editions

"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, while also examining a sampling of the careers of individual women while placing them within broader contexts.

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