About This Item
Cambridge University Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2006. Hardcover. 0521856922 . Book is fine. Light shelfwear to DJ. ; The gens or 'clan', a key social formation in archaic Rome, has given rise to considerable interpretative problems for modern scholarship. In this comprehensive exploration of the subject, C. J. Smith examines the mismatch between the ancient evidence and modern interpretative models influenced by social anthropology and political theory. He offers a detailed comparison of the gens with the Attic genos and illustrates, for the first time, how recent changes in the way we understand the genos may impact upon our understanding of Roman history. This significant work makes an important contribution not only to the study of archaic Rome, but also to the history of ideas. ; The W. B. Stanford Memorial Lectures; 408 pages .
