- To explain the range of sources available for women and gaps in the evidence
- To evaluate the nature of the sources and what they reveal about attitudes towards women
- To analyse the depictions of women and men in the historical record, and how they compare
Some women could read and write, but little of what they wrote has been preserved. Therefore, since we cannot rely on information produced by women, it is necessary to look at other sources in order to get a more accurate picture of the life of elite and non-elite women in ancient Rome.
