Bøker av Joyce E. Salisbury

An extensive and fascinating collection of stories featuring both famous and everyday women, giving a well-rounded view of the lives of women in the ancient world. When did women first become rulers, athletes, soldiers, heroines, and villains?

Compulsively readable, Rome's Christian Empress is the first full-length work to give this fascinating and complex ruler her due.

In 203 AD a group of Christians in Carthage were sentenced to death. One of these, a young mother, wrote a diary while awaiting execution. This narrative is the focus of this work which studies the conflict that resulted in her martyrdom and places it in an intellectual and social context.
