Produktbeschreibung

The Roman Mother, first published in 1988, traces the traditional Roman attitude towards mothers to its republican origins, examining the diverse roles and the relative power and influence associated with motherhood.The author considers the legal position of the mother; the status of the widow; the official promotion of parenthood; and the duties of mother to sons and daughters and vice versa. Literary stereotypes of ideal senatorial mothers and of wicked step-mothers are also considered.
