The gens, a key social formation in archaic Rome, has given rise to
considerable interpretative problems for modern scholarship. In
this comprehensive exploration of the subject, Professor Smith
examines the mismatch between the ancient evidence and modern
interpretative models influenced by social anthropology and
political theory. He offers a detailed comparison of the gens with
the Attic genos and illustrates, for the first time, how recent
changes in the way we understand the genos may impact upon our
understanding of Roman history. He develops a concept of the gens
within the interlocking communal institutions of early Rome, which
touches on questions of land ownership, warfare and the patriciate,
before offering an explanation of the role of the gens and the part
it might play in modern political theory. This significant work
makes an important contribution not only to the study of archaic
Rome, but also to the history of ideas.

This book differs from others in the Histological Typing series by including more clinical aspects and by concentrating on cancer and precancer of the oral mucosa rather than attempting to cover all benign and malignant tumors of the oral and oropharyngeal tissue. One main aim is to inform general pathologists of the significance of the clinical features of the various lesions discussed as, on the whole, they may be unfamiliar with this territory. Attention is also drawn to those conditions particular to the oral mucosa that may give rise to appearances which are important in differential diagnoses but can be misleading to the pathologist who does not have detailed knowledge of the tissue involved. The TNM-classification for malignant tumors of the lip and oral cavity is also included.
