Roman children often seem to be absent from the ancient sources.
How did they spend their first years of life? Did they manage to
find their way among the various educators, often slaves, who
surrounded them from an early age? Was Roman education
characterised by loving care or harsh discipline? What was it like
to be a slave child? Were paedophilia and child labour accepted and
considered 'normal'? This book focuses on all 'forgotten' Roman
children: from child emperors to children in the slums of Rome,
from young magistrates to little artisans, peasants and
mineworkers. The author has managed to trace them down in a wide
range of sources: literature and inscriptions, papyri,
archaeological finds and ancient iconography. In Roman society,
children were considered outsiders. But at the same time they
carried within them all the hopes and expectations of the older
generation, who wanted them to become full-fledged Romans.
