Terminado su rol como madre de nuevos ciudadanos y objeto de deseo sexual, la mujer vieja romana fue objeto del ataque de los escritores romanos, quienes nos transmiten de ella una imagen repulsiva que debe ser comprendida dentro de su contexto social. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar las características que se atribuían al aspecto externo de las mujeres mayores, tanto en lo que respecta a sus características físicas como a su vestido, y profundizar en el estereotipo de vejez femenina existente en la antigua Roma.

This paper aims to analyse the gender of several astrological terms in various ME texts in order to study gender variation from a diachronic point of view. I will concentrate on the nouns moon and sun. Determiners and pronouns agree with the nouns they are referring to and they act as distinctive gender markers. Therefore, it is possible to find a variety of masculine anaphoric and cataphoric references for the OE masculine <mona> and feminine ones for the OE noun <sunne>. However, when addressing astrological terms, the assignment of a different gender is also likely, as it depends “on the attitude towards the referent” (Fernández-Domínguez 2017, 54). This fact is studied and illustrated with examples taken from a corpus containing several parallel versions of Þe Booke of Ypocras and three more lunaries from the Middle English Medical Texts Corpus. The results of this study not only reveal that the gender assigned to astrological terms is not invariable, but it also provides an explanation of the different contexts and reasons why one gender or another is used.

This thesis examines Romano-British women using a life course approach and from a holistic perspective by combining archaeological, historical and biological information. Within the female life course three physical events or transitions occur which directly relate to shifts within society: puberty, childbirth and menopause. These transitions were explored using 436 females between the ages of 10.0 and 44.9 from 11 southern Romano-British urban centres. These sites are of different legal status and size, with some examples bordering between urban and rural, providing insights into the lower status and local populations as well as towns of higher legal status. All individuals are dated to the later (2nd – 5 th century) Roman period. The Females between 10.0 and 24.9 years of age were included within the puberty subsample (n=136) and placed into six categories ranging from Initiation to Completion. Puberty primarily took place over 5 years with a mean age for menarche of 14.1 years. T...
