Concepts of childhood and the treatment of children are often used
as a barometer of society's humanity, values, and priorities.
Children and Childhood in Roman Italy argues that in Roman society
children were, in principle and often in practice, welcome, valued
and visible. There is no evidence directly from children
themselves, but we can reconstruct attitudes to them, and their own
experiences, from a wide variety of material - art and
architecture, artefacts, funerary dedications, Roman law,
literature, and public and private ritual. There are distinctively
Roman aspects to the treatment of children and to children's
experiences. Education at many levels was important. The
commemoration of children who died young has no parallel, in
earlier or later societies, before the twentieth century. This
study builds on the dynamic work on the Roman family that has been
developing in recent decades. Its focus on the period between the
first century BCE and the early third century CE provides a context
for new work being done on early Christian societies, especially in
Rome.
