Bodily Displays of Modesty: Or, How to Power Dress in the Roman World The Clothing that Maketh the Christian Man: Tertullian's On the Pallium Why is She the 'Devil's Gateway'?: Debating Adornment in Christian Carthage Shaming the Virgins' Flesh: Tertullian's On the Veiling of Virgins

Examines Tertullian of Carthage's (160-220 C.E.) writings on dress within Roman vestimentary culture. It employs a socio-historical approach, together with insights from performance theory and feminist rhetorical analysis, to situate Tertullian's comments in the broader context of the Roman Empire.
