Roman Marriage: Iusti Coniuges from the Time of Cicero to the Time of Ulpian de Susan Treggiari

Roman Marriage: Iusti Coniuges from the Time of Cicero to the Time of Ulpian

Susan Treggiari
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 1993

Ceea ce diferențiază lucrarea Roman Marriage de alte studii clasice este abordarea sa exhaustivă, care refuză să trateze căsătoria doar ca un act juridic arid, preferând să exploreze „iusti coniuges” ca o intersecție vie între lege, norme comportamentale și posibilități afective. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Susan Treggiari reușește să echilibreze rigoarea academică a dreptului roman cu detalii intime despre viața cotidiană, acoperind perioada de aur de la Cicero până la Ulpian. Apreciem în mod deosebit faptul că volumul nu se limitează la elita senatorială, ci investighează mecanismele care guvernau formarea noilor alianțe familiale și distribuția proprietății în întreaga societate romană.

Din punct de vedere metodologic, textul este organizat meticulos în cinci părți, pornind de la conceptul de „matrimonium” și „sponsi” (logodnici), trecând prin dinamica complexă a relației soț-soție și terminând cu realitățile inevitabile ale separării. Această structură permite o progresie naturală de la negocierile premarțiale la gestiunea casei (domus) și a zestrei (dos). Cartea completează volumul Women in Roman Law and Society de Jane F. Gardner, aducând o perspectivă mai bogată asupra dimensiunii sentimentale și a „coniugalis amor”, elemente care adesea scapă analizelor strict juridice. De asemenea, lucrarea se integrează perfect în opera autoarei, rafinând portretele de grup din Terentia, Tullia and Publilia într-o teorie socială coerentă despre rolul matrimonial.

Merită menționat că toate sursele originale sunt traduse, facilitând accesul cititorului la mentalitatea epocii fără a sacrifica profunzimea analizei. Este o resursă enciclopedică ce transformă studiul antichității într-o experiență de lectură nuanțată despre fundamentele societății occidentale.

Descriere

Marriage, a fundamental institution in human societies, takes varying forms. This book seeks to explore the practicalities, the cultural assumptions, and the affective possibilities of marriage during the later Republic and the Principate (c.100 BC-AD 235). It takes a fresh view of the interaction of law and reality within Roman marriage, and builds on the accumulation of legal scholarship in the field, as well as on the latest insights into Roman society. Through detailed examination of original sources (which are translated), Professor Treggiari shows that marriage affected a Roman woman's social status and might entail legal consequences. The socio-legal effect on a man as an individual was less striking but it enabled him to father legitimate children, which was the main object of the institution. The creation of new family alignments, shifts in the distribution of property, and the birth of new generations were important for society as a whole. Professor Treggiari also examines the dynamics of the various influences on the choice of partner; behavioural norms; and the motives for divorce.

Recenzii

`Susan Treggiari's long-awaited book on Roman marriage is a major contribution to scholarship that confirms the author's standing as a leading contemporary historian of Roman society. Its subject, the ideology and practical conventions of marriage in the central epoch of Rome's history-is of fundamental importance for understanding the nature of Roman society at large. Treggiari's coverage is accordingly comprehensive, taking in the ways marriage in Rome was brought into being, how society conceived of ideal conjugal behavior and success in marriage, the lived reality of married life (to the extent that it can be recovered), how family property was deployed to sustain marriage, and what happened when marriage came to and end through spousal death or divorce.'Keith Bradley, The Historian
`Treggiari writes with compassion and sympathy for the past ... all future work on Roman marriage must now begin with the standard work she has written-standard in the sense that the book is at once the fundamental resource on its subject and simultaneously a model of patient scholarship for others to aspire to emulate. Full of good humor, rigorously empirical ... It is a book that in the present age cannot be surpassed.'Keith Bradley, The Historian
`Susan Treggiari's long-awaited Roman Marriage is a big book, in every sense, a detailed monograph on every aspect of the subject. Susan Treggiari has made an exhaustive collection of evidence from a wide variety of sources, legal, epigraphic, historical, philosophical and literary, which she analyses thoroughly, with due regard for their nature, and cites in copious detail. This makes the book ...invaluable as a treasure-house for reference.'Jane F. Gardner, The Classical Review, Oxford University Press 1992
`this book is very welcome indeed. We cannot prove what married life was like in ancient Rome; but T. provides a well-argued and plausible account of what the Romans themselves thought about it and how they behaved in it. There is - for a collection of conference in the book as a whole. This book usefully provides and overview of recent lines of approach to the study of the Roman family. ... it should give a boost to those currently working in the field.'Jane F. Gardner, The Classical Review, Oxford University Press 1992
`This brilliant book, immensely detailed, well organised, well indexed and always accessible, defines the point from which future studies will have to begin.'Times Literary Supplement
'A major contribution, indispensable to any collection dealing with ancient history, classical literature, or the social sciences. Choice
'Treggiari's is a very thorough and in many ways very satisfying book. She treats comprehensively the issues raised by marriage and has clearly read enormously widely in the sources ... the book is a competent synthesis of modern as well as older work on the topic ... It is, as one would hope and expect from the Clarendon Press, a well produced book. A good book, a thorough book, one which I and many other Romanists will make much use of.'O.F. Robinson, University of Glasgow, The Journal of Legal History
'Susan Treggiari assembles and analyses a vast array of literary and legal sources in a magisterial examination of the institution of Roman marriage ... The result is a study of fundamental importance that is require reading for anyone who teaches or writes on Roman society and for historians of the family in other ages as well. At last we have a full and satisfactory account of Roman divorce ... It is easy to predict that this volume will become a standard work of reference for students of Roman marriage and related fields ... should give a fair idea of the volume's immense value for those who intend to work in this field. Here is a firm foundation on which to build.'Thomas A.J. McGinn, Vanderbilt University, American Historical Review, February 1993
'this is a work that has to be taken seriously ... On a number of questions the author's findings carry conviction, and even when one disagrees with her one is obliged to revalidate the more persuasive view. In the last resort that is what scholarship in any area of antiquity is about.'R.A. Bauman, Zeitschrift Der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, CXXIII, 1993
'Inspired by Crook's Law and Life, the same fine balance as there is achieved by Treggiari between legal intricacy and social reality... Treggiari is thoroughly conversant with the vast array of literary evidence. On points of detail, whether of major or minor significance, the book tends toward the encyclopaedic and will serve many as a work of reference more than as a book to be read from cover to cover. There is much to fascinate as well as to enlighten... The book is clearly structured... a good review of the present state of legal research into the Augustan legislation, and social historians will find it useful in that regard.'Tim G. Parkin, Journal of Roman Studies
'A significant advance has now been achieved with the appearance of Treggiari's masterly study. T. is also thoroughly conversant with the vast array of literary evidence. On points of detail, whether of major or minor significance, the book tends toward the encyclopaedic and will serve many as a work of reference more than as a book to be read from cover to cover. There is much to fascinate as well as to enlighten.'Journal of Roman Studies
