«Dammi mille baci. Veri uomini e vere donne nell'antica Roma» is the historical essay by Eva Cantarella, in paperback (188 pages, in Italian).
The book analyzes how virility defined male identity in ancient Rome and how love, sex and the role of women were conceived. It ranges from the founding myth to tavern graffiti and the poetry of Catullus, covering osculatory practices, moralizing laws and female models of virtue and rebellion.
It belongs to the Universale Economica collection by Feltrinelli (no. 2234). The work was originally published in 2009.
Recommended for readers of social and cultural history of Rome and for those seeking an approach to daily life and gender relations in Antiquity.
