Patriarchy, Property and Death in the Roman Family (Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time) Book

The Roman father has traditionally provided the pattern of patriarchy in European thought. This book shows how the social realities and cultural representations diverged from this paradigm.

The demographic and cultural contexts deepen our understanding of how the patrimony was transmitted.Read More
