Publisher: Harper& Row Publishers; 1987) Historians have only recently awakened to the importance of the family. The basic social unit throughout human history. Long left to the anthropologists and sociologists, the family and marriage, its indispensable accessory, have stirred intense controversy since being taken up by early modern historians. Phillipe Aries, Edward Shorter, Peter Laslett, and others postulated a number of challenging hypotheses. Was the family in former times large in size and extended in shape, and his it undergone"progressive nuclearization" or has the dominant type always been the conjugal family(parents and children) Were the relationships within the family in pre-industrial society"cold" and is affectionate and humane child-raising, good mothering" a product of industrialization? Were women formerly chattels with few rights in a male-dominated world? Research now permits a synthesis of the findings of modern scholars into a coherent account of the development of marriage and the family through the thousand years of the Middle Ages, from the fall of the Roman Empire to the early modern era. CONDITION: VERY GOOD. Lightly read hardcover with dustjacket. Harper& Row(1987) 381 pages. Book appears as it if it was read once by someone with a fairly light hand. Pages

ATTRIBUTION: Eastern Roman Empire(Judaea) 1st Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Outside Diameter: 59* 56 millimeters. Inside Diameter: 52* 50 millimeters. Opening: 31 millimeters. Band Width: 7 millimeters. Band Thickness: 4 1/2 millimeters. Weight: 17.78 grams. Plaque Size: 28* 24 centimeters(11* 9 USA inches) ARTIFACT CONDITION: Fair. One fracture repaired. One end broken off. Heavy porosity(surface pitting caused by contact with earth while buried) Professionally conserved. DETAIL: A nearly intact. Heavy Roman bronze bracelet circa 1st century A.D. from the Province of Judaea. As you can see(with some difficulty, but look particularly at the middle of the bracelet and one end) the surface of the bracelet bears a fairly complex series chevrons(V” engraved into the top surface of the bracelet, done in such a manner that the point of the inverted“V” is at the very apex of the slightly crowned band, so one arm of the“V” drops to either side of the band. It was when created a fairly sophisticated and surely costly bracelet. The bracelet was not recovered entirely intact, as you can see, but originally it would have been of a reasonable good size considering the slight build of ancient Romans(the ancient population tended to be considerably smaller than contemporary populations) Originally the two ends of the bracelet would have come close to meeting one another. However the trailing ends of each side by their nature were quite thin and fairly fragile, and susceptible to loss through either breakage or corrosion. The tip of one of the two ends was broken off and lost in antiquity, or simple corroded away. The other side the end was fractured and then

DETAIL: Many archaeo-linguists believe that the name sapphire is derived from its association with the planet and ancient deity Saturn(the name can be roughly translated to mean“dear to Saturn” in many different languages) In ancient Rome Saturn was a major god presiding over agriculture and the harvest time. His reign was depicted as a Golden Age of abundance and peace by many Roman authors. A mythical age when Saturn was said to have ruled. In remembrance and celebration of that age, a great(week-long) feast called Saturnalia was held throughout the Roman Empire during the winter months around the time of the winter solstice. It is thought that the festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia were the roots of the carnival(Mardi Gras" in the USA) Roman depictions of Saturn generally showed the god with a sickle in his left hand and a bundle of wheat in his right. In the medieval world Saturn was known as the Roman god of agriculture, justice and strength. Here are two gorgeous. Richly colored natural dark blue sapphire precious
