“…These studies argue that the phallus was crucial for warrior masculinity in different prehistoric and ancient cultures. Both the authors who see the phallus as distinctive for warrior masculinity and those who do not, agree that masculinity was not an inherent feature of the body, and that men had to acquire it (see also Cornwall and Lindisfarne 1994;Bederman 1995;Wray 2001;McDonnell 2006). Bearing this in mind we will engage the following research questions: Who could use the phallus in visual expressions of masculinity, and which kind of masculinity this was?…”

This paper examines depictions of male nudity, flaccid penises and phalli (erect penises) attested in the representations of boys, defeated warriors and figures of authority in the Late Bronze Age Aegean (ca. 1700–1050 BCE). It is argued that, similarly to ancient Egyptian iconography, the flaccid penis, as a sign of weakness and the lack of developed masculinity, was contrasted to the phallus, as a sign of masculine strength and sexual virility. Moreover, the paper argues that there was a gradual change in the depictions of male nudity around 1420/1400 BCE. In the period between ca. 1700–1420/1400 BCE, male nudity was restricted to representations of boys and defeated warriors. After ca. 1420/1400 BCE, most depictions of male nudity represented figures of power and authority with erect penises/phalli. We believe that the depictions of male nudity in combination with phalli were used to accentuate masculinity of such figures.

Pax y concordia fueron dos conceptos, virtudes y deidades que representaron distintas facetas de la paz en la política y mentalidad romana. Su valor, significado y representación visual evolucionaron según las circunstancias, necesidades e intereses en el periodo republicano y el Alto Imperio. Ambas se representaron con forma y cuerpo de mujer, y compartieron símbolos, pero adquirieron matices diferentes en su significado, ámbitos de proyección, así como en los posibles agentes para su logro. Desde una perspectiva de género este trabajo pone el foco en la relación desigual de ambos conceptos con mujeres y hombres, y en cómo las distintas funciones y roles de género determinaron que la concordia formase parte de las posibilidades de agencia de las mujeres, mientras que el logro de la pax se proyectó como potestad de los varones. En este artículo se analizan fuentes escritas, epigráficas, iconográficas y numismáticas para ofrecer una visión en conjunto de cómo las mujeres se proyectaron en el espacio público y político desde el papel de género que era esperable de ellas, con unas funciones muy vinculadas al mantenimiento de la concordia.
