Hey, I'm an expert on this since I've seen several episodes of mister Ed and read many of the adventures in which Jolly Jumper is involved

Date: 2011-03-06 05:22 am (UTC)Currently listening to Siouxsie & the Banshees 'Cities In Dust', which was my favorite Siouxsie song for TWENTY YEARS before I realized what it's about.
Re: Naggy questions again
Date: 2011-03-16 12:40 pm (UTC)I used to listen to Siouxsie & the Banshees (had a friend who was a fan) but I don't know if I ever heard that song. Unless I did and it subliminally altered my brain :) Clearly my problem these days is that I'm not listening to enough music. Actually, that could be true. I haven't listened to music during my commute since my fancy-pants phone was stolen. Hmm. I retired the old iPod when I got the phone and I actually don't know where it is (!!). I'll start the search tonight. I hope it'll still work :P
So, anyway, Petronia!
You can find some commentary on Petronia from Ernest Metzger here: web page (http://iuscivile.com/materials/reprints/metzger-3.htm#titre4) / PDF version (http://iuscivile.com/materials/reprints/metzger-3.pdf) (particularly the section "The Lawsuit"). Other people like Beryl Rawson and Jane Gardner discuss her in books on women in Rome, and there's a book called The Roman Household by Gardner & Wiedemann that has some of the lawsuit documents in translation; but Metzger just lays out the facts (and he is more interested in the technicalities of Roman law, so the article gets a bit dry).
If you're looking for information, I recommend staying away from any fictional accounts of her... er... except SPQR Blues!!! :) Because, well, stories all just put her in as a character and run, and depending on the author's imagination, some stories run veeeery far :)
