Concubinae

Abstract: CONCUBINEI1 concubinatus deve essere nettamente distinto dal matrimonio e dal contubernium. I contubernales non avevano conubium a causa del loro status (almeno uno dei componenti la coppia era schiavo); nel concubinatus non c'era affectio maritalis, e poichè l'intenzione di sposarsi era il fattore principale nel determinare se il matrimonio esistesse o meno, la relazione legale fra due coabitanti poteva essere non sempre chiara agli occhi dei terzi.

“…This incidence is very high compared with that usually seen in Roman epitaphs (Huttunen, 1974; Joshel, 1992). These men were involved in a wide range of professional as well as public sectors, from politics to the army, from religion to manufacture and trade (Treggiari, 1981a: 68). An inscription from Cingulum (Picenum) describes Cernitia Nimphe as the concubina of the ingenuus Marcus Cernitius Pollio, likely her patron 30 .…”

“…For young men, who typically married at around age 30, concubinage provided a means to companionship and sexual gratifijication in the years between puberty and marriage. "14 ) He also points out, what is relevant to Arethusa and Lycotas, that men in the military, "who were forbidden to marry while on active duty, frequently took concubines as partners".15 ) For elites, such relationships were not forbidden, though not encouraged, under the Julian laws, and did not form a barrier to a subsequent marriage by the socially superior male partner (Treggiari 1981).…”
