ISBN10: 0198148909, ISBN13: 9780198148906, [publisher: Oxford University Press] Hardcover Clarendon Press, 1993. XV,578p. Original blue cloth with dust wrps. 'Susan Treggiari's long-awaited Roman Marriage is a big book in every sense, a detailed monograph on every aspect of the subject. (.) [She] has made an exhaustive collection of evidence from a wide variety of sources, legal, epigraphic, historical, philosophical and literary, which she analyses thoroughly, with due regard for their nature, and cites in copious detail. This makes the book long and expensive, but invaluable as a treasure-house for reference. She is careful to distinguish between Roman cultural presupposition and the realities which can be discerned. All stages are surveyed; after an initial examination of the concept and legal technicalities of matrimonium, she moves, via the arranging of a match, to conjugal love and sexuality, both in practice and as a philosophical ideal; from there to the management of property in marriage, and the formation and care of a family; thence to the end of a marriage, divorce, death and mourning.' (JANE F. GARDNER in The Classical Review (New Series), 1992, pp.386-387). Antiquarian [Aalten, Netherlands] [Publication Year: 1991]
