title = "Reading Gender in Curtius{\textquoteright} Portrait of Babylonian Prostitution (36-39)",
abstract = "This article examines the moralizing digression on Babylonian prostitution we encounter in Curtius{\textquoteright} Latin history of Alexander the Great (Historiae Alexandri Magni, 5.1.36-39.). It shows how the digression follows the Herodotean model of writing history and – at the same time – promotes the Roman gender system and contemporary views of prostitution.",
