About this book

The Medicamina, which advises women on how to perfect their complexions, can be read as a distilled contemplation, a thumbnail sketch, of what I will be discussing throughout this book: Ovid's probing of the relationship between self and other in the context of a high imperial culture which, like the dressing table mirror, seems to breed self-awareness.
