Reviews
"This is, in many respects, a very useful book. The family of the late Roman world is a well-researched topic, but there are few monograph-length studies that focus on the immediate post-Roman world. ... On academic reading lists the book should therefore have pride of place next to earlier key studies, such as Geoffrey Nathan’s more Rome-focussed The Family in Late Antiquity, for complementation and comparison." - Julia Hillner, Plekos 22, 2020
