Author Description

""Women and Marriage During Roman Times"" is a book written by Maurice Pellison that explores the role of women in Roman society and their experiences of marriage during this time period. The book delves into the social, cultural, and legal norms that governed women's lives and relationships in ancient Rome. Pellison examines the various types of marriages that existed, such as arranged marriages, love marriages, and concubinage, and the rights and obligations that each type of union entailed for women. The book also explores the challenges that women faced in maintaining their autonomy and agency within the patriarchal structures of Roman society, as well as the ways in which they were able to assert themselves and exercise influence in their personal and public lives. Drawing on a range of primary sources, including literary texts, legal documents, and archaeological evidence, ""Women and Marriage During Roman Times"" offers a rich and nuanced portrait of the experiences and perspectives of women in ancient Rome.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Roman Life in Pliny's Time, by Maurice Pellison.
