In this project, I reconstructed the life of one woman from ancient Rome, using both primary sources from the time period, as well as later scholarly work on ancient women. In specific, through analysis of a short funerary inscription (CIL 5. 3519, on this inscription, see Hemelrijk 2021: 134) of a freedwoman named Caesia from the region of Verona, Italy, I explored the lives of nannies and caregivers in the second century CE. My findings helped to paint an holistic picture of Caesia, who was a nanny to four boys, and the untold lives of so many nannies like her. Caregivers in Ancient Rome were nearly always women, though once boys — like those Caesia cared for — came of age, they were passed off to male tutors to teach them. Women from this time period were seldom remembered for more than their short tombstone inscriptions, and this project sought to remember Caesia and the other freedwomen caregivers like her. Through this project, I hope to shed light onto the lives of lesser known women from ancient Rome, particularly those who cared for children as they were vital to the socialization and upbringing of Roman society. Despite there being very few written records about female caregivers of children from this time period, I gathered more general information about women’s daily lives, their living conditions, and the relationships between nannies and the children for whom they cared.
