Women, Wealth and Power in the Roman Republic
In the Roman Republic, elite women were legally permitted to control substantial assets – and many demonstrably were in direct control of their wealth. They were also the mothers, wives and daughters of the politicians who built Rome's empire and, in a time of high mortality, could find themselves running households that did not contain adult men. This volume explores the political and social consequences of elite female wealth. It combines case …
Female Patrons during the Roman Republic
While the evidence of inscriptions speaks to the range of female patronage in the public spaces of Roman cities, the frequency of such attestations corresponds in the main with the period marking the efflorescence of the epigraphic tradition in the Graeco-Roman world (the first three centuries CE). Honorary inscriptions which attribute to elite female patrons the funding of public buildings, games, banquets and other amenities in the city of Rome…
Women, Roman
Information about freeborn, freed, and enslaved Roman women is frequently derived from male‐authored literary sources. Inscriptions, statues, coinage, and material culture add to our knowledge and understanding about female lives in Roman antiquity.
Place-Making at Pompeii
The places where passers-by, visitors, and inhabitants of public and private spaces encountered parietal inscriptions exist not only in space but in time. In other words, when a marking is produced (a particular point in time) and consumed (across many moments in time) is just as important a factor in forming a view about the meaning and impact of the graffiti and dipinti found at Pompeii as where the markings are located. By examining places whe…
Te Reo Māori
This study assessed the status of te reo Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand, in the context of New Zealand English. From a broadly representative sample of 6327 two-year-olds ( Growing Up in New Zealand ), 6090 mothers (96%) reported their children understood English, and 763 mothers (12%) reported their children understood Māori. Parents completed the new MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory short forms for te reo Māori…
Investigating the Sound Change in the New Zealand English Nurse Vowel /ᴈ
Although there have been many studies of New Zealand English (NZE) vowels, little has been written about the nurse vowel /ɜ:/. This study uses data from three groups of Māori speakers of NZE born between 1871 and 1992 to analyse changes to the nurse vowel over time. Although all these speakers are bilingual in English and Māori, we show that they are representative of NZE speakers generally. Analyses are carried out on formant frequency, vowel le…
Inscriptions in the Private Sphere in the Greco-Roman World
From ancient Spain to Italy to Dura Europus, Inscriptions in the Private Sphere in the Greco-Roman World provides a series of case studies illustrating the variety and importance of writing in private spaces in antiquity.
Inscriptions in the private sphere in the Greco-Roman world
"When one thinks of inscriptions produced under the Roman Empire, public inscribed monuments are likely to come to mind. Hundreds of thousands of such inscriptions are known from across the breadth of the Roman Empire, preserved because they were created of durable material or were reused in subsequent building. This volume looks at another aspect of epigraphic creation -- from handwritten messages scratched on wall-plaster to domestic sculptures…
Roles for Men and Women in Roman Epigraphic Culture and Beyond: Gender, social identity and cultural practice in private Latin inscriptions and the literary record
Previous studies of tombstones and inscriptions dedicated to divinities have focused on methods of assigning names in Roman society, the age at marriage and death of demographic populations across the Roman Empire, relations of kinship, marriage, amity and dependence among elite and sub-altern families and communities, and the performance of acts in accordance with traditional forms of belief and custom. The present volume wishes to ask what conc…
Women, Roman
Information about Roman women is almost exclusively derived from male sources.
U/ fronting and /t/ aspiration in Māori and New Zealand English
This article examines the relationship between the frontness of /u/ and the aspiration of /t/ in both Māori and New Zealand English (NZE). In both languages, these processes can be observed since the earliest recordings dating from the latter part of the nineteenth century. We report analyses of these developments for three groups of male speakers of Māori spanning the twentieth century. We compare the Māori analyses with analyses of related feat…
Ngā Nekehanga o te Whakahua i te Reo Māori i roto i te Rautau kua Hipa nei
Māori and English have been in increasing contact within New Zealand for over 200 years. The impact of each language on the other in vocabulary, which has been borrowed in both directions, is clear. More subtle is the mutual influence in the area of pronunciation. The MAONZE project has been investigating changes in the pronunciation of Māori and of the English of speakers of Māori, using recordings of seven kaumātua born in the 19th century who …
