- This book is an output of collaborative research by Ivleva and Collins over the period of 2014-2019, conducted without any substantial grant income or support. Collins acted as PI, responsible for leading on a dissemination strategy and securing minor funding to support the publication of the book. Ivleva (acting as Co-I) was responsible for coordination communications with contributors. The project was designed to utilize Roman provincial and frontier archaeology to bridge the research gap between Roman Archaeology and Classics in the analysis, treatment, and representation of Roman sexuality and gender. The aim was to demonstrate the rich and diverse evidential base available through Roman archaeological research that has yet to be incorporated into the discourse on Roman sexuality in Classics, as well as to challenge the dominant ‘priapic paradigm’ of Roman Mediterranean models of gender and sexuality that came into contact with diverse social customs of Roman provincial and barbarian cultures. The project resulted in two sessions at international conferences (2015 International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies; 2016 Roman Archaeology Conference) and a short contribution to the proceedings of the International Congress of Roman Frontier Studies in (Collins and Ivleva 2018 ‘Sex on the Frontiers. Textual and Material Representations of Human Sexuality at the Edge of Empire’). Key papers from the two conference sessions are presented in this volume, along with additional invited papers, co-edited by Collins and Ivleva. Collins’ written contributions include: the introduction ‘Venus’ mirror: Reflections of gender and sexuality in the Roman Empire’ (co-authored with Ivleva), which introduced the primary themes of the project, as well as building links across the discrete contributions; and the paper ‘The phallus and the frontier: The form and function of phallic imagery along Hadrian’s Wall’ (sole author).
