The mission of the Gynaikes, Mulieres: Mujeres, Dones, Emakumeak, Mulleres de Grecia y Roma project is to compile a corpus of materials referring to ancient women preserved in the archaeological museums of Spain, which brings together in virtual form all the archaeological evidence preserved, including epigraphy.
A selection of literary documents referring to the women of antiquity in Hispania and, by extension, to the women of Greece and Rome, has been added to the compilation of this material evidence. The aim, therefore, has been to design and build a web-app containing an on-line database with literary, epigraphic, archaeological and numismatic sources, with 3D models, on the women of Greece and Rome that demonstrates how text and image, through the network, constitute the fundamental instrument for the study of gender in ancient Greece and Rome and the transfer of knowledge.
Gynaikes, Mulieres provides didactic resources for the scientific and recreational dissemination of gender in ancient Greece and Rome and, in particular, of the Digital Humanities and Classical Culture through the 3D digitization of inscriptions, jewellery and other objects traditionally assigned by patriarchal reason to the so-called mundus muliebris or feminine universe, namely, to gather a documentary corpus of literary sources related to gender and the condition of women in Greece and Rome, but also on masculinities, homoeroticism or LGTBI+ identities, as well as to digitise materials deposited in our museums.
Beyond the transfer of knowledge to society, from the field of the specialist, in the university or in primary or secondary school, our values are based on the need to undertake educational, co-educational and informative actions that help to eliminate gender asymmetries and inequalities and collaborate in the creation of an egalitarian, fair and inclusive society.
We are fully convinced of the need to create co-educational materials that raise awareness of the imperative of equality and respect for difference, and we believe that the new information and communication technologies are a privileged means of democratising access to knowledge and reaching all audiences, regardless of cultural level, social class or ideology.
Why Gynaikes, Mulieres: Mujeres, Dones, Emakumeak, Mulleres de Grecia y Roma? Because we are convinced that access to information in our mother tongue favourably predisposes and facilitates learning, and especially bearing in mind, beyond the linguistic rights of citizens, that the language of instruction in primary and secondary education is the language of each autonomous community, as established by their respective autonomous statutes and included in their own educational regulations or in the constitution itself. This corroborates the Latin maxim variato delectat, and reflects the fact that Spanish society is made up of citizens eager to know the history of the gynaikes and mulieres of Greece and Rome, also in the mother tongue of the women, mujeres, dones, emakumeak or mulleres, and of the men, hombres, gizonak and homes of our country.
We insist, Gynaikes, Mulieres, Mujeres cannot be an end in itself, but a web-app through which the values of equality and respect for difference are disseminated, where all types of LGTBI+ identities fit and where nothing is more important than people, humanity and humanity.

The three subgroups are made up of historians, philologists, archaeologists, both from universities and primary and secondary schools, as well as young PhD students who facilitate the connection with a younger audience.

The creation of the photogrammetric 3D models has been carried out by the company 3D Stoa – Patrimonio y tecnología, specialized in opening windows to the past to unite technology and heritage through digitization, virtual recreation, 3D printing and other technological tools. The design of the logo and the user manual has been carried out by Toolbox, Gestión y comunicación integral.
