About this book

Houses of Ill Repute is the first book to focus on the difficulties of distinguishing between private homes and buildings, such as brothels and taverns, which housed activities neither public nor private in ancient Greece, providing a way forward for the study of domestic and entertainment spaces in the Hellenic world.

Reviews

"Houses of Ill Repute is a prime example of what can be gained by a careful study of archaeological contexts. The essays collected in the volume build on previous studies of domestic architecture by considering the evidence for structures used as Greek brothels and their urban context."—John Oakley, College of William and Mary
