About this book
Latin students keep meeting references to Roman home life, and this textbook by Harold Whetstone Johnston, professor of Latin at Indiana University, explains them for the later Republic and earlier Empire. Written in English with few Latin words and quotations, it opens with an introduction on sources and reference books before turning to the family: the household, agnates and cognates, the family cult, adoption and the patria potestas. Each chapter begins with standard English and German authorities, and many illustrations and an index help. The preface is dated 1903.
