Alimenta, Numismatics, Epigraphy, GirlhoodAbstract
In this article, we will address the phenomenon of the food programmes that, since the 2nd century AD, have taken place during the governments of the different emperors in favour of the sustenance of the most vulnerable, the children. Our aim is to analyse the extent to which the female child population benefited from these measures, depending on the historical period, the geographical context, the public or private nature of the foundation and their discrimination in relation to their male peers. To do so, we will start from the literary reports and compare them with the information provided by numismatic, epigraphic and iconographic sources.
