{"product_id":"youth-in-the-roman-empire-christian-laes-9781107048881","title":"Youth in the Roman Empire","description":"Modern society has a negative view of youth as a period of storm and stress, but at the same time cherishes the idea of eternal youth. How does this compare with ancient Roman society? Did a phase of youth exist there with its own characteristics? How was youth appreciated? This book studies the lives and the image of youngsters (around 15-25 years of age) in the Latin West and the Greek East in the Roman period. Boys and girls of all social classes come to the fore; their lives, public and private, are sketched with the help of a range of textual and documentary sources, while the authors also employ the results of recent neuropsychological research. The result is a highly readable and wide-ranging account of how the crucial transition between childhood and adulthood operated in the Roman world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Laes,Johan Strubbe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107048885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107048881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Christian Laes","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47423358730495,"sku":"9781107048881","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6edb90f6-17d1-4e4e-a643-1f98a29a5934.jpg?v=1761528526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/youth-in-the-roman-empire-christian-laes-9781107048881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
