A Cultural History of Shopping in the Age of Revolution And Empire
Shopping emerged as a special pleasure and problem during the period between the revolutionary upheavals of the late 18th century and the opening salvoes of the Great War. New shops, new products, new class and gender ideologies, new standards of comfort and hygiene, and rising living standards for some meant that people, especially women, spent more time shopping and engaging in consumer-oriented activities beyond the walls of the shop. At the s…
Gender, Memory, and Identity in the Roman World
A Cultural History of Hair in Antiquity
Hair, or lack of it, is one the most significant identifiers of individuals in any society. In Antiquity, the power of hair to send a series of social messages was no different. This volume covers nearly a thousand years of history, from Archaic Greece to the end of the Roman Empire, concentrating on what is now Europe, North Africa, and the Near East. Among the key issues identified by its authors is the recognition that in any given society mal…

Prehistoric, Ancient Near Eastern & Aegean Textiles and Dress
The Impossible Art of Dressing to Please
This paper uses the letters of Jerome as a case study for examining the rhetoric of dress in early Christian writing, and considers how far such a language of dress can be useful in creating a catalogue or chronology of female dress in Late Antiquity. The paper will argue that discourses about dress and gender in the western empire show striking continuity over time and across the boundary between classical and Christian literature

Female dress, third-sixth century
L'habillement est un élément indispensable pour construire l'identité du groupe comme de l'individu : il matérialise des messages relatifs au statut social et économique, au rang et à l'ethnicité du porteur. Les données littéraires aussi bien que visuelles qui portent sur le vêtement masculin de l'Antiquité tardive mettent en évidence les influences directrices jumelles de l'armée et des groupes "barbares" qui se trouvaient alors au centre du pou…
Forum Novum–Vescovio
The Roman town of Forum Novum lies in the Sabine hills to the northeast of Rome. Its study forms part of the British School at Rome's Tiber Valley Project, a collaborative research initiative which studies the Tiber valley as the hinterland of Rome, tracing the impact of Rome's development on the history of its settlement, economy, and cultural identity from 1000 B.C. to A.D. 1300 (Patterson and Millett 1999; Patterson et al. 2000) (fig. 1). The …
Between fasting and feasting
Fasting was an important element of early Christian behaviour in Egypt. In spite of a wealth of Late Antique monastic sources describing acts of fasting, the reality must be that food was consumed at regular intervals. To date, discussion of monastic dietary practice has been largely a historical debate. Although we do not discount this approach and will use it ourselves, this paper departs from this academic tradition by incorporating new archae…
