Modern scholarship routinely emphasises the connectivity of the ancient world and the mobility of its inhabitants. Nevertheless, ancient migration is often conceptualised within the paradigm of the single adult male migrant, and scholars often emphasise the restricted nature of women's mobility and the relative low number of women migrants. Economic factors, particularly the possibility to find labour opportunities, which are considered to have been a key driver of migration, are not thought to have similarly applied to women in ancient Rome as they did to men. However, recent scholarship has found evidence for a substantial integration of women in virtually all areas of ancient economic life. If thus ancient societies were much more mobile and women much more integrated in the ancient economy than previously thought, these paradigmatic assumptions must be reassessed.In my dissertation, I challenge this perception of ancient migration having been primarily male. Specifically, I argue that women were much more mobile than previously thought, and that economic motives were a main driver of women's migration, too. On the basis of bio-archaeological and epigraphical evidence, I systematically compare women and men migrants in the Latin West of the Roman empire during the imperial period and statistically analyse the quantifiable elements of ancient migration.By analysing the published bio-archaeological evidence, I demonstrate that the percentage of women among the migrant population is virtually identical to the percentage of women among the total sample population, suggesting that there were many more women migrating than previously thought: While men seem to have been slightly more likely to migrate than women, the ratio of women to men among migrants ranges from 1.27 to 2 migrant men for each migrant woman.I further analyse whether the epigraphic record supports my hypothesis that economic motives similarly affected both men and women regarding their migration behaviour, thus indicating that such motives were a key driver for the women's migration, too. Although a systematic analysis of 2312 imperial inscriptions referring to civilian migration in the Western Empire revealed statistically significant differences between men and women and thus falsified the hypothesis, the analysis also yielded some surprising results: it appears that there was no significant difference between the distances migrated by men or women, but that they differ significantly with regard to their origins and destinations, indicating that many women migrated independent of male kin.The fact that the evidence does not support my main hypothesis notwithstanding, it seems that particularly in light of the bio-archaeological evidence the paradigm of the single adult male migrant must be seriously reconsidered: If somewhere between a third and half of all migrants were women, migration in the (Western) Roman empire can no longer be conceptualised as a fundamentally male phenomenon.
