Disabilities in Roman Antiquity: Disparate Bodies <i>a Capite Ad Calcem (Mnemosyne Supplements History and Archaeology of Classical Antiquity)
Christian Laes
This is the first volume ever to systematically study the subject of disabilities in the Roman world. The contributors examine the topic from head to toe: mental and intellectual disability, alcoholism, visual impairment, speech disorder, hermaphroditism, monstrous births, mobility problems, osteology and visual representations of disparate bodies.
