Ann Raia designed the Matrimonium Project, which contains the following sub-pages: Nuptiae, Roman Laws of Marriage: A Timeline and Ancient Sources for Roman Laws of Marriage.
Anne Leen designed "Learning to Read Inscriptions," an introduction for students to the conventions of inscriptions to be used with the texts on the Vernae webpage. The exercise can be found in Activities under the World of Work rubric, and linked at the end of the introductory essay to Vernae in the World of Work texts. The exercise was beta-tested by five students in Maria Marsilio’s Advanced Latin Grammar course: Shannon Daly, Chase Davis, Madison Dalton, Brian Scarpato, Duncan Waite (Saint Joseph’s University, Spring 2021).
Caitlin Gillespie prepared Text-Commentary Project Instructions to enable her Columbia University graduate Latin seminar students to engage with the collaborative activity integral to the development of a teacher/scholar. The project resulted in the publication of passages from Tacitus' Agricola about Julia Procilla and Domitia Decidiana & Julia Agricola.
Elizabeth Gloyn designed Text-Commentary Project instructions to accompany her course "Latin on the Edge." At Royal Holloway, University of London, where she teaches, students in their second year complete two projects, each associated with other modules they are studying. Her commentary project is intended to develop and strengthen her students' grasp of the Latin language as well as the wider context within which a particular text was written.
Maria S. Marsilio created a PowerPoint presentation on The Roman Family for her undergraduate Classical Studies Honors course "Sexuality and Gender in the Ancient World." It is taught in English and satisfies multiple curricular requirements at Saint Joseph's University. The presentation overviews important aspects of Roman family life and can be adapted for courses relating to the status of women during the Republic and Empire.
Maria S. Marsilio created a PowerPoint presentation on Women and War for her undergraduate Classical Studies Honors course "Society, Democracy, Republic." It is taught in English and satisfies multiple curricular requirements at Saint Joseph's University. Featuring images of classical and later artworks, this presentation overviews important aspects of Roman political, military, economic, and domestic life and can be adapted for other Roman civilization courses.
Maria S. Marsilio created this PowerPoint presentation on Imperial Women in Coins from her private collection. The slide show contains digital images of the obverse and reverse of four coins depicting Faustina Maior, Faustina Minor, and Julia Domna, accompanied by captions and notes with full details of each coin and transcriptions of their Latin inscriptions. She uses this lesson chiefly in her two Honors courses, "Sexuality and Gender in the Ancient World" and "Golden Age Rome," to introduce students to genuine silver denarii and demonstrate how coins can contribute valuable information to what is known about leading women of Imperial Rome. The goal of the unit is to encourage students to be exploratory and collaborative, to enable them to look at ancient artifacts together and discuss the significance of what they see.
Janet Stephens, Independent Scholar and Hair Archaeologist. Ancient Hairstyle Recreation.
This webpage, linked to the Worlds of Body, State, and Religion illustrates, through ancient artifacts and modern recreation, some of the hairstyles made popular by Roman empresses. The author offers links to videos that demonstrate the tools and process of creating the hairstyles worn by Agrippina Minor and Julia Domna, as well as a link to her online videos on forensic hairstyling.
