Drawing on hundreds of tombstones from Rome, Italy and the Western
provinces, this study assesses how parents visualised childhood. By
considering the most popular funerary themes and iconographic
models, it emphasises both the emotional and social investment
placed in children, bringing to the fore many little-known
examples. From Britannia to Dacia, Aquitania to Pannonia, it
highlights the rich artistic diversity of the provinces and shows
that not all trends were borrowed from the capital. With a wide
range of social groups in evidence, including freedmen, soldiers
and peregrini, it also considers the varying reasons which underlay
child commemoration and demonstrates the importance of studying the
material in context. Amply supported by a catalogue of examples and
over a hundred images, it will be essential reading for anyone
working on Roman childhood or family studies.
