Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolving legal framework of Roman marriage from its traditional religious foundation to its eventual secularization. The author traces this transformation back to the allowance of divorce, first introduced by the censors and subsequently codified in the Twelve Tables, and analyzes its corrosive effects on the stability of Roman family life. The author demonstrates how the erosion of traditional marriage norms led to the re-emergence of other customs from the era of warring tribes, such as the practice of lending wives and the exclusion of women from inheritance. The book's examination of the lex Julia de maritandis ordinibus reveals Emperor Augustus' motivations for enacting it and questions his sincerity in presenting it as a cure for Rome's moral decline. Ultimately, the book argues that the abandonment of religious principles in Roman marriage law had wide-reaching consequences, setting the stage for the eventual collapse of the Roman Empire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
