- The development of the Sex in Antiquity project was led by Robson following an invitation by the publishers, Routledge, to produce edited volume on sex in the ancient world. Rabinowitz was recruited to be co-editor and the volume was jointly scoped as a single work bringing together the sexual worlds of Greece, Rome and the Ancient Near East. The volume was conceived as a research driven collaboration giving contributors the freedom to author chapters pointing the way to the next phase of scholarship in their field rather than straightforwardly summarising scholarship. A further co-editor expert in Roman sexuality (Masterson) was then recruited to help identify a comprehensive list of specialist contributors to cover the range of topics identified for inclusion. The intellectual coherence of the volume was established by guiding individual authors through the ambitions of the volume, refining the topics and approaches while maintaining multiple perspectives. The co-editors provided substantial feedback to shape the final form of the complex volume. Robson completed the production editing of the entire volume as well as compiling the front and back matter. The co-editors co-wrote the introduction that locates the volume historically and theoretically by examining the changing nature of sex, sexuality and gender studies over the past 50 years. Robson also contributed one chapter.
