Microcredit and women in Rome

[richsc]

Picked this up from Dave Meadow's digest: a Carmen Lázaro, professor of Roman Law at the Universitat Jaume I, has written that the concept of microcredit existed in Rome among women. Any idea if she's published something on this?

Actually, with a little digging on the university web site, I did find her email and have asked.

Dear Mr. Campbell,
I really don't mind if you let know my works to this Roman reenactment groups. You can find my currilum vitae at: http://www.uji.es/CA/departaments/dpu/es...r_id=12760
Thank you very much and we keep in touch.
Best regards,

Dear Dr. Lazaro, 

Thank you very much! I should mention that in Spain there are several Roman reenactment groups with a large number of women participants (one group in Madrid, another in Barcelona) who might also find this very useful. Would you mind if I let them know about your work?
