DIVORCE IN ANCIENT ROME.
One Woman Had Eight Husbands In
Eiva Years

"We are assured by Seneca says
the historical lnge, that there were
s~bmen In ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but Uy
the husbands they had had. Juvenal
tells Of one woman who had marr1eC
eight husbands In five years. divorce
was granted on the slightest prerext.
Many separated merely from love OF
change, disdaining to give any reason
Ike Aemilius Paulus, who told nia
friends that he knew best where his
shoes pinched him.
Rich wives were not much sought
after by wise men. Their complete
emancipation made them difficult to
manage. Accordingly. since both rict
and poor wives were Objectionable. the
large majority Of men never married
at all In most cases a Roman bride
groom knew practically nothing OF his
wife's character until after marriage.
Marriage for the Roman woman
meant a transition from rigid seclu-
sion to almost unbounded liberty. She
appeared as a matter Of course at her
husbands table whether he had com
pany or not. She could go where she
liked, either to the temples of isis
and Scraps or to the circus and am
phitheater. She had her own troops
Of slaves, over when she ruled with
