Conference on Women in Oxyrhynchus Papyri
Delve into the fascinating history unveiled by the Oxyrhynchus excavation site, which has provided thousands of documents illuminating daily life in a Greco-Roman city. Among these documents, numerous women’s names emerge, from property owners to homemakers, unique insights captured in contracts, love letters, expressions of sorrow, and magical spells. In this engaging conference, led by experts Núria Castellano and Joan Miralles, we will explore these female perspectives as reflected in the papyri, shedding light on the roles women played in society, their personal stories, and how they navigated a predominantly male world.
