Quote:Modern feminism is better labelled gender studies, and Roman society is certainly a rich vein for discussion of this nature. In the context of the OP (which isn't really invoking feminist archaeology as such) this could turn to the question of who in Gaul was buying Roman jewellery, for whom, and why, and then turn to what the Romans made of that trade. Of course, answering that is probably going to rely more on finding ethnographic parallels than historical indicators...Yup.
