Adoption in other cultures and other times provides a background to
understanding the operation of adoption in the Roman worlds. This
book considers the relationship of adoption to kinship structures
in the Greek and Roman world. It considers the procedures for
adoption followed by a separate analysis of testamentary cases, and
the impact of adoption on nomenclature. The impact of adoption on
inheritance arrangements is considered, including an account of how
the families of freedmen were affected. Its use as a mode of
succession at Rome is detailed, and this helps to understand the
anxiety of childless Romans to procure a son through adoption,
rather than simply to nominate heirs in their wills. The strategy
also had political uses, and importantly it was used to rearrange
natural succession in the imperial family. The book concludes with
political adoptions, looking at the detailed case studies of
Clodius and Octavian.
