Abstract
In extricating possible Roman influence on family structure and practice from among the varied cultural influences (indigenous, Hellenized Greek, Punic, Roman, and eventually Christian) which shaped family life, this chapter finds conventional Roman approaches to funerary commemorations, but speculates that distinctive customs in the provinces of North Africa in ancient Rome might be visible in, for example, regional variations in marriage customs. The focus is on burial and family relations in connection with the corresponding vocabulary of kinship; the inscription, and especially the epitaph, as ‘biography’; and the question of the choice of spouse.
