Abstract

Pagan and Christian Lifestyles Gillian Clark Oxford University Press 1994 Clark analyzed late Roman empire laws regarding women including marriage, divorce, dowry, adultery, prostitution and rape, contraception and abortion, inheritance, and public life. She notes that [t]he law codes of any society tell us something about the actions the society wishes to prevent and persons it wishes to protect. They do not tell us enough, because legislation has to deal in general rules which do not always match what people think or do. page 6
