Yet as the contributions to this volume—which deals with the Roman cities of Italy and the western provinces in the late Republic and early Empire—show, women occupied a wide range of civic roles. Women had key roles to play in urban economies, and a few were prominent public figures, celebrated for their generosity and for their priestly eminence, and commemorated with public statues and grand inscriptions. Drawing on archaeology and epigraphy, on law and art as well as on ancient texts, this multidisciplinary study offers a new and more nuanced view of the gendering of civic life. It asks how far the experience of women of the smaller Italian and provincial cities resembled that of women in the capital, how women were represented in sculptural art as well as in inscriptions, and what kinds of power or influence they exercised in the societies of the Latin West.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum ;360.Mnemosyne, bibliotheca classica Batava.Supplementum.History and archaeology of classical antiquity.WomenRomeSocial conditionsRomeSocial life and customsWomenSocial conditions.305.40936/091732Hemelrijk Emily Ann1953-871744Woolf Greg256152MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996237248203316Women and the Roman City in the Latin West2242709UNISA03125nam 2200697I 450 991078082150332120230725041900.01-282-82117-297866128211721-60473-217-2(CKB)2520000000009203(EBL)515620(OCoLC)609863401(SSID)ssj0000340005(PQKBManifestationID)11252221(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000340005(PQKBWorkID)10387107(PQKB)11054336(SSID)ssj0000365930(PQKBManifestationID)11260653(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000365930(PQKBWorkID)10414209(PQKB)11534256(StDuBDS)EDZ0000206542(MiAaPQ)EBC515620(OCoLC)647833093(MdBmJHUP)muse13630(Au-PeEL)EBL515620(CaPaEBR)ebr10355615(CaONFJC)MIL282117(EXLCZ)99252000000000920320090518d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSmart ball marketing the myth and managing the reality of major league baseball /Robert F.

MLB's challenge has been to market its popular mythology as the national pastime with pastoral, populist roots while addressing the management challenges of competing with other sports and diversions in a burgeoning global economy. Baseball researcher Robert F. Lewis II argues that MLB for years abused its legal insulation and monopoly status through arrogant treatment of its fans and players and static management of its business.
