Patriarchy, Property and Death in the Roman Family (Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time)
"...a remarkable book, impressive in its command of diverse materials and methodologies and certain to inspire further advances."   American Historical Review"The current prominence of the Roman family as a field of research is due in large part to a series of stimulating studies written over the last decade by Richard P. Saller, whose already considerable achievements now culminate in a book of great importance for historians of Roman society....[A] remarkable book, impressive in its command of diverse materials and methodologies and certain to inspire further advances."   Keith Bradley, American Historical Review"This is clearly a book that historical demographers and European family historians, as well as scholars of classical history, will want to add to their libraries. However, it is also a book that offers students of the modern family much to think about."   Caroline Brettell, Amercan Journal of Sociology
