 Scholia Reviews ns 14
As its title promises, Gods and Men in Egypt: 3000 BCE to 395 CE discusses how the people of (and in) ancient Egypt conceptualized their relationship with divinities throughout an enormous span of time.
The inclusion of the second book proves that this volume is distinct from traditional books on Egyptian religion, which ordinarily treat the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great as the end of Egyptian history in its most genuine form.
The fact that the authors divided Gods and Men in Egypt: 3000 BCE to 395 CE into two separate books is not particularly true to their wish to regard Egyptian history down to the fourth century CE as one coherent whole.

Yet neither provides any textual basis for their positive assessment of her rhetorical skills, or even quotes directly from her correspondence: the two excerpts surviving from Cornelia's letter to Gaius in 124 BCE are preserved by Cicero's contemporary Cornelius Nepos.
For this reason a fictional letter ascribed to a female character in a Roman comedy--the courtesan Phoenicium in Plautus' Pseudolus (191 BCE)--has received considerable attention in Matrona Docta, Emily Hemelrijk's 1999 study of educated women in the classical Roman elite.
It compares the writing attributed to Phoenicium with other second century BCE texts, all speeches by men: the erotic fantasies uttered by the fictitious Greek slave Olyympio at 134-138 of Plautus' Casina; excerpts from two orations delivered by an aspiring member of the Roman male elite, the elder Cato.
