This course, Studies in Roman History: Roman Women, is a detailed exploration of the lives of women in ancient Rome, their representation in literature, and the limits and the possibilities of surviving evidence. The course will consist of both general discussions and a series of case-studies, and students will develop their own research projects on the topic. By editing Wikipedia, expanding stubs, and creating new pages, students will learn to check and add citations to existing entries and increase the presence of Roman women on the site.
