ABSTRACT Classical and Hellenistic Greek laws and dowry practices were generally more progressive and provided more protections for wives than early Roman marriage law and practice. Roman dowry law then witnessed a series of significant developments over the course of the republic, beginning with the time when the Romans were coming into increased contact with Greek culture. Changes in social attitudes towards the conditions for women in marriage, their ability to control their dowries, and their right to own property, seem to have been responsible for these transformations in Roman family law. As Romans became increasingly Hellenized, their dowry and marriage practices in general came to resemble patterns prevailing in the Greek world, perhaps as a result of individuals’ emulation of Greek laws and customs. The shift from the overall predominance of marriage in manu to marriage sine manu may therefore be explained partly by influences from the Greek world.

希腊对罗马嫁妆法的影响

摘要 古典和希腊化的希腊法律和嫁妆惯例通常比早期罗马婚姻法和惯例更先进，为妻子提供更多保护。罗马嫁妆法随后见证了共和国进程中的一系列重大发展，从罗马人与希腊文化的接触增加开始。社会对妇女婚姻状况的态度、她们控制嫁妆的能力以及拥有财产的权利的变化似乎是罗马家庭法发生这些变化的原因。随着罗马人变得越来越希腊化，他们的嫁妆和婚姻习俗大体上与希腊世界流行的模式相似，这可能是个人效仿希腊法律和习俗的结果。
