2 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
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.

Fascinating! An excellent look at disability, what counts as a disability, and even a discussion on sex and gender.

Considering I'm both disabled and a classicist, I know nothing about disability in the classical era. Let's change that.
