The aim of the conference is to analyse the use of writing by women and their participation in the different expressions of written culture in the Roman West. Its goal is to create a multidisciplinary forum, open to researchers working from diverse perspectives. The topics addressed include epigraphy and female self-representation, the carmina latina epigraphica, women’s literacy in Italy and the provinces, iconography, the interpretation of literary sources, and comparative studies with other contemporary regions.
