Roman Courtesan

The nucleus of this volume consists of a set of papers delivered on May 30th, 2014, at the Institutum Romanum Finlandiae, Rome, at the International Symposium “The Roman courtesan. Archaeological reflections of a literary topos,” organized in collaboration with the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut Rom. In the present book, besides the papers by the original participants at the symposium, a number of other colleagues have been invited to participate with articles that enrich the discourse with further perspectives.
