Note 172 — XVI MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE UNDER ROMAN AND ENGLISH LAW
Reading edition
Under the Empire we usually find women using two names, from their father’s gens and family (e.g. Caecilia Metella). Sometimes, it would seem, the name of the father’s gens was followed by one taken from the mother (e.g. Iunia Lepida, Annaea Faustina). The subject is fully discussed by Mommsen, in his Römisches Staatsrecht.
