A Boman writer has appealed, on the whole with greater justice, to the treatment of wives by his fellow oountiTmen, as a proof of the superiority of Boman to Greek civilisation. He has observed that while the Greeks kept their wives in a special quarter in the interior of their houses, and never permitted them to sit at banquets except with their relatives, or to see any male except in the presence of a relative, no Boman ever hesitated to lead his wife with him to the feast, or to place the mo...ther of the family at the head of his table.* Whether, in the period when wives were completely subject to the rule of their husbands, much domestic oppression occurred, it is now impossible to say.
A temple dedicated to a goddess named Viriplaca, whose mission was to appease husbands, was woi*shipped by Boman women on the Palatine;* and a strange and improbable, if not incredible story, is related by Livy, of the discovery during the Bepublic, of a vast conspiracy by Boman wives to poison their husbands.* On the whole, however, it is probable that the Boman matron was from the earliest period a name of honour ; * that the beautiful sentence of a jurisconsult of the Empire, who defined marriage as a lifelong fellowship of all divine and human rights,-' expressed most faithfully the * 'Quern enimRomanorumpudet pinqua cognatione conjunctiis.*— vxorem ducere in convivium ?
