Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
A study of the skeletons of 164 late Roman children has been conducted to determine their age at death. Following on from this, various sources of evidence -- modern statistics, archaeological data on general cemetery populations, ethnographic parallels, classical writings, historical and recent documentary accounts -- are combined to suggest that infanticide was commonly practised throughout history. | |
