Monthly Guild Meeting – Carey Fleiner on Roman women, Sheep and Wool in the Classical world
This talk considers the symbolism of wool and spinning in the classical world
This talk is considers the symbolism of spinning and wool in the Classical world, with an emphasis on Roman women and the household. We’ll consider where spinning and wool fit into popular myths and how this reflects the importance of sheep, wool, and spinning in the general economy. The main part of the discussion looks at spinning as women’s work, and the significance of spinning and household economy – not only the practicalities of the task, but also the symbolism of spinning (and weaving) as representative of domestic harmony.
