What reading level is State And Family in Early Rome book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The above theory, if correct, supplies the answer. The ancient religious marriage, according to the rites of the gens, reaches far back into pre- Italiotages; but confarreation can hardly be more than coeval with the settlement of the Tribes and the growth of some regular system of international, N 178 MARRIAGE or extra-gentile, relations. The practice of celebrating intra-gentile, as well as inter-gentile, marriages by confarreation was, probably, firmly established in the infancy of the Repub...lic, and is more recent than the rise of coemption. Coemption, as we have seen, was a plebeian device for avoiding the danger of defeat to the intention of entering upon a just marriage, owing to some flaw in the ceremony. It is impossible to attribute to it extreme antiquity. Coemption, it is true, has been held to have been the original form of Roman marriage. I have already submitted that, to my mind, the non- religious element of the marriage service represented at first merely a supplementary and precautionary measure, until its proved suffici- ency dwarfed the importance of the religious rites.
