Investigations into the daily life of Roman families show that
children were key actors in the process of the construction of
social memory: they were the pivotal point of the transmission of
family tradition and values in both elite and non-elite families.
This collection of essays draws together the perspectives of
various disciplines to provide a multifaceted picture of the Roman
family based on a wide range of evidence drawn from the 1st century
BCE to Late Antiquity and the Christian period. The contributors
define the notion of memory, discuss the role of children in the
transmission of social memory and social identities, and also deal
with threats to familial memory, in the cases of children
deliberately or accidentally excluded from tradition, long believed
to be invisible, such as those born at home to slaves, or outcast
because of illness or their unusual status, for example as the
offspring of an incestuous relationship.
