description: Newly translated excerpts--some of which are available in English for the first time--are taken from a wide range of Latin prose and verse literature, ethical and agricultural handbooks and codes, legal texts, inscriptions, and other epigraphical material from the second century B. C. to the sixth century A. D. Taken together, they constitute an indispensible resource for the study of Roman domestic and social history, providing an intimate glimpse inside the Roman household.
