Generally, Roman girls were usually married by the time they were twelve years old, and sometimes even younger. The Greek physician and writer, known as Hippocrates, 460-370 B.C., laid the foundation for medical ideas about women for centuries onward, from the Romans to the Victorians Era. One of his writings called, On…

The Roman Provinces’ Relationship to the Roman Economy Background N.S. Gill writes that Rome’s provincial system came into play, following their expansion beyond, as she puts it, “the Italian boot” (para. 1), and referring first to the islands of Sicily in 241 BCE, followed by Sardinia and Corsica in 238 BCE.

And while “the Senate and Roman people consented that I alone be made curator of the laws and customs with the highest power”, serving with triumvir powers for life, Augustus still maintained himself to simply be the first among equals in the Roman government.

In the New Testament, Junia, Pricilla, Phoebe, and Mary Magdalene were four females with leadership roles in the Jesus movement. These females were deaconesses, evangelists, educators, or preachers.

and placement also hints at ancient and classical forms. While the columns seen in Figure 2 take on an elongated, rectangular form that references no classical order, the purpose and placement remain largely the same as those seen in Minoan, Greek, Roman, and even Egyptian architecture.
