This Day in Ancient History

pridie kalendas septembres

  • 12 A.D. — birth of the future emperor Gaius (Caligula) at Antium
  • 40 A.D. — Gaius (Caligula) celebrates an ovatio after his attempted military campaigns in Gaul and Britain

Marriage in Ancient Rome (1911)

About.com has a somewhat out of date look at Roman marriage:

Ferrero, Guglielmo. “Women and Marriage in Ancient Rome.” The Women of the Caesars. The Century Co.; New York, 1911.
