Abstract

This article focuses on the role of concubinae in the Roman world, through analysis of inscriptions and reliefs on funerary monuments involving these women and their relatives. It investigates why concubinatus was chosen in preference to legal marriage, and how the concubina was perceived as a member of her partner's family. The results bring to light how this type of quasi-marital union was an appealing option for men of social standing, and that the role of concubinae accepted by their partners was not so dissimilar to that of legal wives. The article considers funerary monuments from Roman Italy, dating from the first century BC to the early third century AD. It deals with the role of Roman concubinae by analysing tombstones from both an archaeological and historical point of view; the aim of this analysis is to reconstruct a social pattern of concubinatus and of the individuals involved in this type of quasi-marital relationship, with the aid of two different types of ancient sources.

Attraverso l'analisi delle iscrizioni e delle immagini sui monumenti funerari, l'articolo affronta alcuni temi inerenti al concubinato in epoca romana: da un lato le possibili ragioni che portavano due persone a scegliere tale tipo di unione, dall'altro le modalità con cui veniva percepito il ruolo della concubina nella famiglia del compagno. Nel complesso, i monumenti funerari suggeriscono che questo tipo di legame era una scelta prediletta da uomini socialmente in vista o fieri dei propri successi personali, e che il rapporto instaurato con le concubine non differiva eccessivamente da quello che si intratteneva con le mogli, almeno nella commemorazione funebre. L'analisi si basa sui monumenti provenienti dalla penisola italiana, compresi tra il I sec. a.C. e il III secolo d.C., nella loro dimensione storico-archeologica: il contesto sociale del concubinato e delle persone coinvolte è infatti delineato dai monumenti funerari attraverso l'integrazione di entrambi i tipi di fonti, epigrafiche ed iconografiche.
