Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth examination of marriage in ancient Rome, providing a comprehensive analysis of the legal and social structures that shaped this fundamental institution. Unlike the modern concept of marriage, Roman marriage was a complex legal contract that varied in form and could have significant implications for the rights and status of both spouses. The author explores the three main types of marriage: confarreatio, coemptio, and usus, each of which had its own unique set of rituals and legal consequences. Beyond the legal framework, the book delves into the broader social and cultural aspects of Roman marriage, including the roles and expectations of husbands and wives, the importance of dowry and inheritance, and the legal rights and protections available to women. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including legal texts, literary works, and archaeological evidence, to provide a rich and nuanced portrait of marriage in ancient Rome. Through its examination of the legal, social, and cultural dimensions of Roman marriage, this book offers valuable insights into the lives of Roman women and families and provides a deeper understanding of the foundations of Roman society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

Die Losung meines der Verlagsbuchhandlung gegebenen Versprechens, auch den Beckerschen Gallus nach Art des Charikles bearbeiten zu wollen, begegnete grösseren Schwierig keiten‚ als man danach erwarten sollte, dass seit der dritten von W. Rein besorgten Ausgabe noch nicht zwei Dezennien vergangen sind. Der Gallus war trotz des grossen Beifalls‚ mit dem er bei seinem Erscheinen begrusst wurde, doch, ich möchte sagen, ein weniger fertiges Werk, als der Charikles, welcher, wenn auch nur Wenige Jahre jünger, den Erfolg des rastlosen Fleisses bezeugt, der den Verfasser leider zu früh aufreiben sollte. Becker war auch später selbst be müht, das Buch durch Nachträge und Umarbeitungen zu bereichern. Denn in seinem handschriftlichen Nachlasse befand sich, wie Rein in der Vorrede zur zweiten Ausgabe erwähnt, ein uber 10 Bogen starkes Manuscript, zusammenhängende Darstellungen über die Familie, das Haus und die Kleidung enthaltend. Rein hat nun aber in den vier Excursen zur ersten Scene des 2. Bandes (die Familie) seine eigenen Zu sätze mit den Beckerschen so innig verwebt dass er es für unthunlich hielt, seine Arbeit von der Becker 3 durch Zeichen zu sondern. Ich bin weit davon entfernt, den hochverdienten Gelehrten deshalb tadeln zu'wollen, was überhaupt niemandeingefallen ist; da jedoch das Manuscript Becker's wohl nicht mehr aufzutreiben gewesen wäre, so erwuchs mir daraus die N otwendigkeiiz, die betreffenden Excurse nur mit Berücksichti gung der Originalausgabe zu rekonstruieren. Aber auch in anderen Excursen hat die Reinsche Bearbeitung wichtige Er gänzungen aus Becker's Papieren ohne äussere Bezeichnung aufgenommen‚ so dass ich wohl in den Fall gekommen sein kann, zuweilen trotz aller Pietat und unwisse'ntlich Becker selbst zu ignorieren oder zu bekämpfen. Die Veränderungen Rein's in dem Plane und der ganzen Okonomie des Gallus glaubte ich um so mehr adoptieren zu dürfen, als derselbe bemerkt hat, dass auch im Nachlasse Becker's das Zusammen gehörende allemal verbunden war. Was meine eigenen Zu sätze betrifft, so gestehe ich gern ein, wie ausserordentlich viel ich dabei den trefflichen Leistungen Marquardt's, Friedländer's, Ovefbeck's Nissen's, Blümner's u. A. Zu danken habe. Doch bin ich nie soweit von fremdem Ur teile beeinflusst worden, dass ich mein eigenes ohne genaue Prüfung darauf basieft hatte. Böttiger'ssabina‚ der Becker selbst in seiner Vorrede so gfossen Wert beimisst, lag'mir in der neuen Ausgabe von K. Fischer (m. Gladbach. Wohl vor. Da aber in dieser die Böttigersehen Excurse grösstenteils beseitigt und durch Verweisungen auf neuere Handbücher ersetzt worden sind, glaubte ich die auf die Originalausgaben verweisenden Citate stehen lassen zu müssen. Von den Abbildungen sind nur die zum besseren Verständnis des Textes notwendigen beibehalten worden, da in neuerer Zeit die betreffenden monumentalen Reste des Altertums vielfach zugänglich geworden sind. Der Grundriss der interessanten Casa di Livia auf dem Palatin, sowie die aufgenommenen Genre bilder aus Pompeji werden den Lesern nicht unwillkommen sein. Meine Zusätze sind im Drucke von Becker's Eigentumdureh eckige Klammern geschieden. Die von den Excursen beginnendeanwendung der neuen Schulorthographie schien mir aus mehreren Gründen angemessen. Schliesslich bemerke ich noch, dass die Reduktion von Geldsummen‚ Massen und.
