Puellae doctae: l’educazione «al femminile» nella domus Augusta

Abstract

During his reign Augustus gradually included his daughters and nieces in the education strategies reserved for the members of the domus Augusta. Ancient tradition shows that even the female heirs of the princeps, grown in a cosmopolitan context, can benefit of the new educational system perhaps attending Verrius Flaccus’ lessons for a longer period than the other girls of the nobilitas senatoria.
