Meghan J. DiLuzio is assistant professor of classics at Baylor University.
"A Winner of the 2017 CAMWS First Book Award, Classical Association
of the Middle West and South"
"One of CHOICE’s Outstanding Academic Titles for 2017"
"DiLuzio addresses a topic both well-known and understudied.
Numerous scholars have investigated the role of women in Roman
religion, but have focused almost exclusively on the vestal
virgins. DiLuzio, however, offers the first detailed treatment of
all attested female priesthoods in the Roman Republic. Her book is
the most comprehensive treatment of the topic and a valuable
contribution to the study of Roman religion."

"Meghan DiLuzio’s book on priestesses in republican Rome fills a
significant gap in research, as this is the first comprehensive
treatment of the subject."---Darja Sterbenc Erker, Journal of the
American Academy of Religion
"[Diluzio] stresses the role of female priests in Roman religion,
underlining the co-operative mode of operation of Roman priesthoods
and the diversity of cultic actions."---Marlis Arnhold, Journal of
Roman Studies
