It can be difficult to hear the voices of Roman children, women and
slaves, given that most surviving texts of the period are by elite
adult men. This volume redresses the balance. An international
collection of expert contributors go beyond the usual canon of
literary texts, and assess a vast range of evidence - inscriptions,
burial data, domestic architecture, sculpture and the law, as well
as Christian and dream-interpretation literature. Topics covered
include: child exposure and abandonment children in imperial
propaganda reconstructing lower-class families gender, burial and
status epitaphs and funerary monuments adoption and late
parenthood. The result is an up-to-date survey of some of the most
exciting avenues currently being explored in Roman social history.
