Item description from seller

VIII, 184 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - minimalst bestoßen und berieben, sonst sehr guter Zustand / minimally scuffed and rubbed, otherwise very good condition. - Did the Romans retire? What was a child in ancient Rome? Throughout history, every culture has had its own ideas on what growing up and growing old means, with variations between chronological, biological and social ageing, and with different emphases on the critical stages and transitions from birth to death. This volume is the first to highlight the role of age in determining behaviour, and expectations of behaviour, across the life span of an inhabitant of ancient Rome. Drawing on developments in the social sciences, as well as ancient evidence, the authors focus on the period c.20()BCAd200, looking at childhood, the transition to adulthood, maturity, and old age. They explore how both the individual and society were involved in, and reacted to, these different stages, in terms of gender, wealth and status, and personal choice and empowerment. Original, lively and accessible, this study opens up the subject of age and the Roman life course in a way that is tangible to the reader, and which includes and draws on current controversies and debates in ancient history. It will be important for anyone studying Roman life.
