By examining a portion of private law in imperial Rome as a
functioning element in social life, this book constitutes an
important contribution to the sociological understanding of law in
premodern societies. Using archaeological data as well as literary
and legal texts, Bruce Frier shows that members of the upper class,
including senatorial families, lived in rented apartments and that
the Roman law of urban lease was designed mainly for them, not for
the lower class. Originally published in 1980. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
