| | Livy's portrait of the Tarquins in the early books is directly opposite to that of the ideal Roman citizen, and the primary characteristic of the Tarquin regime is the over-privileging of family against the State. | | | Understanding the Roman cultural revolution, W-H concludes, cannot lie in "the appropriation of Roman moralizing theory," because whatever we have of that theory is from the winning side, and would therefore be a "poor basis" for ascertaining a "common transforming impulse" in the Roman cultural revolution (10-11). | | | Feldherr's fine essay matches the Augustan consolidation of political control over the Roman world with "another similarly ambitious attempt at creating a unified and comprehensive picture of the totality of the Roman state" (136), that is, Livy's monumental history of the Roman people. |

| | This is based on the assumption that Juba's marriage to Glaphyra indicates that he was a widower at that time, since Juba was a Roman citizen and therefore required to be monogamous by Roman law. | | | 38, simply accepts this argument, though she also notes (p36) that polygamy was forbidden to Roman citizens as an objection to the theory that Juba II married Glaphyra while Selene was still alive, and does not explain why this same objection does not apply to Ptolemy, who was also a Roman citizen. | | | Since Juba appears to have been monogamous, he suggests that Urania's husband must have been Ptolemy, and proposes that he revived the ancestral Numidian custom of harem polygamy; the title of "queen" ascribed to her by Julia Bodina was a local courtesy. |
