Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucius Decius Verus is the son of a Roman officer, Marcus Decius Verus, and his wife Camilla. They live in the north of England when that country is ruled by Rome around the time when Hadrian’s Wall is being built, about 122 AD. When he is only a few months old the couple, while driving through a wild storm, negligently lose the child from the carriage they are travelling in. The child, Lucius, is found by a local woman, Mora, who decides to keep the child. And she names the baby boy Corio. Camilla blames Marcus for the loss of her baby, the one love in her life, and she leaves him and goes south to live with her sister. Mora is later murdered by her husband, Vero, when Corio is three years old. So, Mora’s friend, Liva, and her husband, Agar, take over the responsibilities of raising Corio as their son. The boy grows up with his adopted parents, learning to farm while interacting with some of the Roman population, learning a little Latin in the process. When Corio is fourteen years old, unbeknown to him, his natural father Marcus is injured in battle and his mother Virginia, a tall, bossy woman, comes to look after her son and decides to stay indefinitely. When she is visiting a friend, Natalia, she sees the boy there and is startled by his likeness to her son Marcus.

Download or read book Children and Everyday Life in the Roman and Late Antique World written by Christian Laes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children and Everyday Life in the Roman and Late Antique World explores what it meant to be a child in the Roman world - what were children’s concerns, interests and beliefs - and whether we can find traces of children’s own cultures. By combining different theoretical approaches and source materials, the contributors explore the environments in which children lived, their experience of everyday life, and what the limits were for their agency. The volume brings together scholars of archaeology and material culture, classicists, ancient historians, theologians, and scholars of early Christianity and Judaism, all of whom have long been involved in the study of the social and cultural history of children. The topics discussed include children's living environments; clothing; childhood care; social relations; leisure and play; health and disability; upbringing and schooling; and children's experiences of death. While the main focus of the volume is on Late Antiquity its coverage begins with the early Roman Empire, and extends to the early ninth century CE. The result is the first book-length scrutiny of the agency and experience of pre-modern children.
