Sons, Slaves and Freedmen in Roman Commerce

Synopsis

This is a sociologic study of the role of the Roman Familia in legal and commercial transactions in classical times. The Roman "family" included slaves and freedmen as well as wives, children and relatives and served as the basis for legal and quasi-legal activities. In this study, socio-economic data sheds light on the legal aspects of the extended family.
