Hellenistic
Law of Hellenistic: It should not be forgotten, however, that such common foundations as there were gave rise to a great variety of individual legal systems differing as to their completeness and elaboration and reflecting the tribal and historical backgrounds as well as the changing social, economic, political, and intellectual conditions of their respective societies.
Gender: The common woman’s role within Hellenistic society was extremely inferior to the role that men played. Compared to other periods of history, the role of common middle class women during the Hellenistic time period is hard to define. It is most clearly defined in the papyri recording their marriages.
Science: The most brilliant age in the history of science prior to the seventeenth century a.d. was the period of the Hellenistic civilization.
Roman Culture
Law: Roman law is the legal system of ancient Rome, and the legal developments spanning over a thousand years of jurisprudence, from the 12 Tables (c. 449 BC), to the Corpus Juris Civilis (AD 529) ordered by Eastern Roman emperor Justinian I. The historical importance of Roman law is reflected in legal systems influenced by it.
Science: Roman technology is the engineering practice which supported Roman civilization and made the expansion of Roman commerce and Roman military possible for nearly a thousand years
Gender: The Women's Network is a loose-knit group of scholars and students who are interested in the advancement of scholarship on ancient gender, and support women's academic careers in Classical Studies.
