Patriarchy, Property and Death in the Roman Family

Rating:
Summary: a good attempt
Review: Saller sometimes seems more a sociologist than a historian and this book is no exception. These articles exam a wide range of subjects which may interest historians and laypeople studying the family, law, or even sexuality in the ancient world. Very worth reading but not for the uninformed reader I'm afraid.
