"This book may do more for the understanding of classical sexuality than any since Kenneth Dover's Greek Homosexuality of twenty years ago."--Times Literary Supplement "This is an important and ground-breaking study."--Choice"This book by Craig A. Williams combines lucid analysis of the protocols governing male sexual behavior in ancient Rome with comprehensive documentation from literary sources.... It is a landmark work of scholarship and should prove accessible to scholars of all disciplines."--American Historical Review "This indispensable book persuasively sets forth gender identity, not sexual orientation, as the fulcrum of male sexual significance in Roman society."--Religious Studies Review, "This book may do more for the understanding of classical sexuality than any since Kenneth Dover's Greek Homosexuality of twenty years ago."--Times Literary Supplement "This is an important and ground-breaking study."--Choice "This book by Craig A.

Williams provides a compelling study of the ideologies of masculinity and homosexuality in Rome. Through a mastery and systematic examination of the sources, and by stressing the discontinuity between ancient and modern conceptual frameworks on sexuality, he shows how the Romans were able to accommodate aspects of homosexuality into a larger landscape of gender identity and acceptedsexual behavior. Williams has raised the tenor of the analysis of homosexuality in antiquity to a new high-he has done for the Romans what Dover did for the Greeks two decades ago."-Richard J. Hoffman,Journal of the History of Sexuality"The first truly comprehensive book, in any language, on male homosexuality in the ancient Roman world."- Beert Verstraete, Journal of Homosexuality

Synopsis
Ten years after its original publication, Roman Homosexuality remains the definitive statement of this interesting but often misunderstood aspect of Roman culture. Learned yet accessible, the book has reached both students and general readers with an interest in ancient sexuality. This second edition features a new foreword by Martha Nussbaum, a completely rewritten introduction that takes account of new developments in the field, a rewritten and expanded appendix on ancient images of sexuality, and an updated bibliography.
