Description

Explore a new perspective on Roman history with this comprehensive study from Oxford University Press. While much has been written about children in Roman culture, the specific role of the youngest age group often remains overlooked. This volume, titled 'A Fragment of Time', focuses on the lives of under one-year-olds across the entire Roman Empire. This research provides a detailed look at how the youngest members of society functioned within the family and the broader community. By combining social and cultural history with physical evidence, the book offers a deep understanding of the earliest stages of life in antiquity. It uses a variety of sources to build its narrative, including archaeological findings, funerary remains, and material culture. Readers will find a multi-layered approach that examines the iconography of infancy to piece together the historical circumstances of the time. This work is an essential resource for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the social history of the Roman world.
