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.
