Roman Homosexuality: Ideologies of Masculinity in Classical Antiquity

Craig A. Williams (Assistant Professor of Classics, Assistant Professor of Classics, Brooklyn College, City University of New York)

Williams provides a fully documented discussion of ancient Roman ideologies of masculinity and sexuality, focusing throughout on classical representations of sexual experience between males. He gathers a wide range of evidence dating from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD–from such varied literary texts as courtroom speeches, love poetry, philosophy, and graffiti–and employs this evidence to reconstruct the telling contexts in which such writings were created and had meaning.
