Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Family in Early Rome The present treatise deals only with Rome in its infancy and adolescence. A considerable portion of that period is prehistoric. Its reconstruction - faulty at the best - demands a strong effort of synthesis; and whilst the subject is calculated to stimulate the imagination, the paucity of the available authentic material has lent itself to many interpretations provocative of controversy. The central idea that has furnished my text is that the early Roman State was a conscious imitation of the ancient Gens or ancient Family, that its theory of Government was founded upon the relations existing between kinsmen, and that these, again, were determined by religious notions which later became transformed through developments within the City and external influences. To call such a State, in its earliest days, either a democracy, an autocracy, or an aristocracy might be verbally true; but it would be substantially false. It is not explainable without reference to the religious notions of the Romans before they came under the direct influence of the Greek theogony.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from State and Family in Early Rome Element underlies what on the surface appear to be purely political and economic controversies, has been shown by M. Pustel de Coulanges. Without some such key, the struggles of the patrician and plebeian orders, for instance, are to my mind merely bewildering. But when we perceive how self-interest is buttressed or antagonized by traditional, though doubtless obsolescent, religious prejudices, politics and economics drop into their proper perspective, and we may impartially respect the standpoints of all parties.

Download or read book State and Family in Early Rome written by Charles William Louis Launspach and published by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Launspach, a barrister and member of the Inner Temple, argues that in its "infancy and adolescence" early Rome was "a conscious imitation of the ancient Gens or ancient Family, that its theory of government was founded upon the relations existing between kinsmen, and that these again, were determined by religious notions which later became transformed through developments with the City and external influences" (Foreword, v). Consequently, the early state was neither a democracy nor an autocracy. When expansion and internal change drew the Roman commonwealth away from its familial roots, the underlying assumptions that had bound the state fragmented and the constitutional order was gradually supplanted by more authoritarian structures. xx, 288 pp.

Download or read book Augustus and the Family at the Birth of the Roman Empire written by Beth Severy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-02-24 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this lively and detailed study, Beth Severy examines the relationship between the emergence of the Roman Empire and the status and role of this family in Roman society. The family is placed within the social and historical context of the transition from republic to empire, from Augustus' rise to sole power into the early reign of his successor Tiberius. Augustus and the Family at the Birth of the Roman Empire is an outstanding example of how, if we examine "private" issues such as those of family and gender, we gain a greater understanding of "public" concerns such as politics, religion and history. Discussing evidence from sculpture to cults and from monuments to military history, the book pursues the changing lines between public and private, family and state that gave shape to the Roman imperial system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a series of articles that examine the Roman family in Italy and the empire using a wide range of evidence and considering a number of critical issues. Its focus on regional differences in family structure, forms of marriage, and kinship patterns make it the first publication to include targeted study of the family in the Roman provinces. The chapters cover Roman Egypt, Judaea, Spain, Gaul, North Africa, and Pannonia, and make use of both conventional textualsources and epigraphic evidence and material that is less frequently treated, including the medical writers and the Justinianic receipts.
Download or read book Discovering the Roman Family written by K. R. Bradley and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These essays on various aspects of family life in ancient Rome offer an especially timely and provocative new characterization of how this most elementary component of Roman society was structured. Recognizing that a traditional nuclear model is necessary for a basic understanding of Roman family organization, Keith R. Bradley argues that a broader, more extensive context must be established if this structure is to be fully appreciated. Examining the roles of slaves, servants, and other surrogates in the upbringing and socialization of children, and concentrating on the parts played by wet-nurses and male childerminders, his book molds an entirely new framework for the study of the Roman family. He investigates the extent of serial marriage, especially among the upper-classes, and the effects of the widespread familial dislocation that resulted, and for the first time considers the prevalence of child labor in the Roman world, contrasting the experiences of upper-class and lower-class children. Bringing these themes together in a lively final section through a fresh, thorough examination of Cicero's correspondence, Bradley portrays the life of an actual Roman family. A seminal contribution to Roman social history, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in how the family worked and lived in classical times.

Download or read book Rome at War written by Nathan Rosenstein and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long asserted that during and after the Hannibalic War, the Roman Republic's need to conscript men for long-term military service helped bring about the demise of Italy's small farms and that the misery of impoverished citizens then became fuel for the social and political conflagrations of the late republic. Nathan Rosenstein challenges this claim, showing how Rome reconciled the needs of war and agriculture throughout the middle republic. The key, Rosenstein argues, lies in recognizing the critical role of family formation. By analyzing models of families' needs for agricultural labor over their life cycles, he shows that families often had a surplus of manpower to meet the demands of military conscription. Did, then, Roman imperialism play any role in the social crisis of the later second century B.C.? Rosenstein argues that Roman warfare had critical demographic consequences that have gone unrecognized by previous historians: heavy military mortality paradoxically helped sustain a dramatic increase in the birthrate, ultimately leading to overpopulation and landlessness.
