Social history has only recently extended its scope to include women, children, slaves, and foreigners, giving birth to a new definition of "the family" that recognizes the great diversity of family forms in classical antiquity. A Companion to Families in the Greek and Roman Worlds draws from both established and current scholarship to offer a broad and interdisciplinary overview of the field, engage in contemporary debates, and pose stimulating questions about future development in the study of families. --Employing new methodologies and relying on textual and visual evidence from a variety of disciplines, such as archeology, art, law, and early Christianity, this international team of contributors presents important new insights into life in ancient Greece and Rome and serves to broaden our understanding of the social structures of classical antiquity. --Book Jacket.Blackwell companions to the ancient world.FamiliesRomeFamiliesGreeceHistoryTo 1500DwellingsRomeDwellingsGreeceHistoryTo 1500RomeSocial conditionsGreeceSocial conditionsTo 146 B.CRomeSocial life and customsGreeceSocial life and customsFamiliesFamiliesHistoryDwellingsDwellingsHistory306.850938Rawson BerylMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910208828303321Companion to families in the Greek and Roman worlds1759068UNINA
