Description

Explore the dynamics of power and authority in the small-scale communities of the late antique world. This scholarly work from Cambridge University Press examines how households, monasteries, and schools functioned as sites of social control. In these small worlds, power was defined by personal relationships rather than distant government structures. Through an analysis of how fathers, husbands, teachers, abbots, and slave-owners asserted their will, this book looks at the tension between individual authority and the social order. It investigates the expectations that these leaders held for law and government to support their rule, while also considering the resistance and perspectives of those living under their control. This study provides a detailed look at the challenges of teaching obedience and the complex realities of maintaining order in the private and semi-private spheres of ancient life.
