I, Claudia is a comprehensive study of the lives of Roman women as revealed in Roman art. It concentrates on the evidence provided by portraits, reliefs, wall-paintings, architecture and decorative arts. The catalogue entries describe more than 180 works, and seven essays discuss gender theory, portraits of empresses and princesses, the portrayal of women as goddesses and women's roles in society, the home, literature and artistic patronage.

The book was published on the occasion of "I, Claudia: Women in Ancient Rome," an exhibition organized and circulated by the Yale University Art Gallery. Many black-and-white images in the print version have been replaced by color illustrations in this digital edition.
