Abstract:This article contributes to the conversation about women’s roles as benefactors in the Roman Empire through detailed analysis of the types of benefactions made by women in Hispania as well as in-depth studies of five exceptional women. While a number of other surveys on women’s public roles have been conducted, many of them revolve around the same small cluster of exemplary women such as Eumachia in Pompeii. This contribution refocuses the study of Roman women with a wider scope, permitting us to ask questions about the social dynamics and institutions that supported the practice of benefaction.

Abstract:This is a post-production report on a student reenactment of the Roman Ludi Megalenses (Megalensia), including a ludus scaenicus, at Illinois Wesleyan University in May 2013. Students studied and re-created some of the rituals commonly associated in antiquity with the worship of the Magna Mater, including a procession of both Phrygian worshippers and Roman citizens and a staged reading of Plautus' Pseudolus in Latin and English. We grappled with questions of text and metatheatricality, theatrical and sacred space, actors, music, movement, costumes (including masks), authenticity, audience reception and occasion. The reenactment allowed us to gain a unique historical perspective by “living history,” providing a laboratory for learning about ancient Roman ritual and theater practice.

Abstract:Seneca Controversiae 2.5 includes unusually vivid descriptions of torture that suggest an apprehension about the need to transmit to the student the ability to describe such violent imagery. Fictive cases of tyrannical torture prepared the student for real world situations, in which juridical torture could reasonably occur. The case may also reflect an unease with an increasing lack of distinction between tyrannical and juridical torture under the reign of Tiberius.

Abstract:Contrary to the traditional interpretation of Plato's attitude towards painting as derogatory, it has recently been rightly argued that its treatment in the Platonic corpus is too complicated to be dismissed as simply negative. In this paper I focus on Plato's references to “shadow painting” in the Phaedo and the Republic and investigate the way in which this fifth-century pictorial technique becomes a distinctive metaphor that addresses complex ontological and epistemological problems, namely the notion of antithesis and the so-called “compresense” of opposites (enantia) in the world of Doxa, as well as the relationship between Forms and physical particulars.

Abstract:This article explores the phrase Cadmea proles, a Latin hapax, in Seneca's Hercules Furens 268. Through attention to philological intertexts and the dramaturgy of the passage, I pursue two separate but related lines of inquiry: the first is to argue that Cadmea proles alludes to, among other things, the myth of Oedipus, specifically in its dramatic staging by Sophocles and by Seneca himself. The second is to suggest that the Oedipal intertext, hardly surprising in a Theban play, introduces, on a microscopic level, some of the broader themes of the Hercules Furens, especially its concern with legitimacy, identity, and referential instability.
