Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic surge of interest in the study of families
in the ancient Mediterranean world. 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
