The original context of this painting is the House of Hercules in Ostia (IV.II.2-4). It was located next to another judicial scene. Photo: Pasini 1978, Pl. 59. For more information: ostia-antica.org/regio4/2/2-… #Classics

I think there is no doubt (see e.g. Kaser, Das römische Zivilprozessrecht, index s.v. Frauen) that women 'sui iuris' could act in civil cases, though in the legis actiones they needed the auctoritas tutoris ... /thread

A remarkable fragment of a wall painting from Ostia depicts a woman before a judge. Roman women could appear in court and represent themselves. The fragment is a possible material trace of the practice. Thanks to @WritingHelena for drawing it to my attention.
According to Roman law, women could not represent themselves in court, intervene for others or act as attorneys (Dig. 50.17.2). Why does the museum in Ostia antica say this fresco shows a woman in front of a judge? Does it actually do this, am I missing something? @lewismarkwebb?
Julia Hillner retweeted
Thanks to German colleagues at #Rom_DAI & @WritingHelena, was able to visit Ostia during the general strike. The main reason was to visit the Case a Giardino, but was also able to visit the Constantinian Basilica and some imperial domus. Such a fruitful day with wonderful people!

The more I read and reread Julia Hillner's "Helena Augusta. Mother of Empire" (2023, OUP), the more I realize it is an extraordinary achievement in something that is in itself a very difficult task: writing the biography of a Late Roman woman. @WritingHelena

Flights of fancy (title of my article) discussing this. The Actus Silvestri are certainly that. And Helena gathers all kinds of flights of imagination.

It's not the most famous tourist attraction in Milan, but it was the first place I visited on my recent trip there: the chapel of Sant'Aquilino, built (probably) as an imperial mausoleum in the 4th c., the place where Justina and her son Valentinian II might have been buried. ⬇️

As a researcher of Late Roman and Byzantine architecture, I have noticed the usefulness of 3D models and learned how to make them. Let's look at St. Costanza, one of my favourite buildings in Rome

Proud to have contributed together with @JoGretzing to this project about restorative justice in South Africa. Together with a multidisciplinary team of scientists and historians we have shed light on a very real human story. @UCT_news news.uct.ac.za/features/suth…

Yesterday, we published our paper on genetic analyses of early Celtic princely burials from Southwestern Germany today. An important piece of @JoGretzing’s award-winning PhD thesis, we explore kinship and ancestry from the late Hallstatt-Culture. 1/10
Using aDNA and isotopic data from 31 individuals, @JoGretzing, @stschiff et al. find evidence for a dynastic system of matrilineal inheritance among the Celtic society of southern Germany.

Had a great time at the Genetics/History meeting in @DependencyBonn, organised by @DJMHarland. Intense discussions around public perception of research, ethnicities and identities in history, and cross-disciplinary critique and dialogue.

All being well, I'll be taking up this Leverhulme International Fellowship on unnamed and enslaved individuals and the church in late antique Iberia next academic year @DependencyBonn and Centro de Estudos Classicos at the University of Lisbon. Can't wait.
