Gender and sexuality in the Roman world: The Antiquity in nowadays

Abstract

The aim of this article is to think how gender and sexuality in theRoman world can express debates on historical knowledge and produce new interpretation of the past. I point out how the search for the comprehension of seated relations between the male and female universes, and also the relations with themselves bodies, desires and feelings, permit a knowledge of the heterogenic, diverse and complexity that involved the social and historical Roman relations. Besides I shall rethink how those points are relative in our own time.
