Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Livy?s Women explores the profound questions arising from the presence of women of influence and power in the socio-political canvas of one of the most important histories of Rome and the Roman people, Ab Urbe Condita (From the Foundation of the City).
This theoretically informed study of Livy?s monumental narrative charts the fascinating links between episodes containing references to women in prominent roles and the historian?s treatment of Rome?s evolutionary foundation story. Explicitly gendered in relation to the socio-cultural contexts informing the narrative, the author?s background, the literary landscape of Livy's Rome, and the subsequent historiographical commentary, this volume offers a comprehensive, coherent and contextualised overview of all episodes in Ab Urbe Condita relating to women as agents of historical change.
As well as proving invaluable insights into socio-cultural history for Classicists, Livy?s Women will also be of interest to instructors, researchers, and students of female representation in history in general.
"K.?s book is essential for students and scholars interested in the study and narrative composition of the end of the Republic. It is an exhaustive and rigorous work on Livy?s literary expertise and his practical incorporation of women as relevant actors at crucial moments in the history of Rome." - The Classical Review More
