Behind the vast panorama of the pagan Roman empire, the reader discovers the intimate daily lives of citizens & slaves—from concepts of manhood & sexuality to marriage & the family, the roles of women, chastity & contraception, techniques of childbirth, homosexuality, religion, the meaning of virtue, & the separation of private & public spaces. The emergence of Christianity in the West & the triumph of Christian morality w/ its emphasis on abstinence, celibacy, & austerity is startlingly contrasted w/ the profane & undisciplined private life of the Byzantine Empire. Using illuminating motifs, the authors weave a rich, colorful fabric ornamented w/ the results of new research & the broad interpretations that only masters of the subject can provide. * ABOUT THE EDITORS: GEORGES DUBY, a member of the Académie Française, is Professor of Medieval History at the Collège de France. PAUL VEYNE is Professor at the Collège de France. * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: ARTHUR GOLDHAMMER is widely celebrated for his superb translations from French into lucid & supple English. He received the French-American Translation Prize in 1990 for his translation of "A Critical Dictionary of the French Revolution". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee of $16.00 & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted below-cost rates.…
