Gardner, Jane F. Being a Roman Citizen. London: Routledge, 1993. This source will help add information to the Roman laws on disability and Roman culture, it breaks down the impacts of a few physical disabilities on the daily life and interactions with others in roman society, what negatively affects it and less so (chapter 6: PARTICIPATION: THE HANDICAPPED CITIZEN, 156-178). It includes a subsection in this same chapter on how the Romans did try to accommodate those with disabilities and could fit under the Roam laws section with also the additional information about whether or not those with physical disabilities could own land or create or receive wills. Trentin, Lisa. "Deformity in the Roman Imperial Court *." Greece and Rome 58, no. 2 (2011): 195-208. This source will be used to length and add more information to the section In Roman culture as it provides an in-depth look into the relationships between those in imperial power (emperors) and the 'deformed or disabled' in ancient roman society. It gives detail to their treatment, mostly around the Augustan period and how emperors used those with 'unique' looks to increase their moral standing in society, the author Trentin coins them the 'bad' emperors. On page 200 to 202 in further explanation of a bad emperor ancient literary texts use deformities in the body and mind to show that they are as monstrous in their actions and looks. This text may also be used to create a section on the topic of deformities in ancient literary text used to define a character as 'good or bad'. Draycott, Jane. "RECONSTRUCTING THE LIVED EXPERIENCE OF DISABILITY IN ANTIQUITY: A CASE STUDY FROM ROMAN EGYPT *." 62, no. 2 (2015): 189-205. This source will help with the Notable Romans with disabilities section, adding in recognizable Roman citizens with physical disabilities to balance with the mental disabilities. Like in the previous source listed it also provides information on the treatment of disabled people and using them as some form of entertainment or put on display(202-203). Laes, Christian. Disability in Antiquity. Rewriting Antiquity. Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY: Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2017.
